[WinUI 3] Minimum Window height

[Armin2208]

Describe what issue or improvement you have with the usability design

This is how my Auto Dark Mode App opened after performing the upgrade. Obviously way too small.

Describe how you would like to see it improved
Implement a minimum window size.

We do actually have a minimum size. We can increase the values if needed. @Armin2208 what's your Windows version? .NET version? And screen resolution? Scaling?

Windows-Auto-Night-Mode/AutoDarkModeApp/MainWindow.xaml.cs

Lines 19 to 20 in dcec8ad

	overlappedPresenter.PreferredMinimumWidth = 680;
	overlappedPresenter.PreferredMinimumHeight = 320;

It seems that the Header is positioned in the wrong place, with bad/negative margin/padding. Easy to reproduce here on Windows 10. But not on my Windows 11. 😵

It's strange, with 2k resolution and 100% zoom, it looks like this when the window is the smallest.

Okay so the size is super easy to fix, just set min height to 420. The fact that the navigation (menu and header) are messed up is a different issue.

Google/AI says:

The NavigationView control in WinUI3 on Windows 10 has several known issues, including highlighting inconsistencies, potential crashes, memory leaks, and navigation-related problems. These issues have been reported in various forums and issue trackers like GitHub and Microsoft Q&A.

That's probably WinUI's problem? The Bug about this underlying framework is almost maddening, and we can only pray that users will not have this problem when using it. （；´д｀）ゞ
