Use consistent animation for menus or make animation customizable

[RichardLuo0]

Description

Most menus use the same animation as UWP (the drop-down like animation). But the menu opened on file uses fade-in animation, however, the submenu opened in the menu uses drop-down animation again. I quite like the UWP drop-down animation, so please make them all the drop-down animation or make the animation customizable.

Steps To Reproduce

1. right click on a file
2. watch the animation

You may refer to the context fly out when you right click on a file or a folder. It's called ContextFlyout and it acts like any other context fly out and we use it on purpose.

This is an issue with WinUI in that MenuFlyout and CommandBarFlyout does not have a matching animation.

Can MenuFlyout replace all CommandBarFlyout? Does WinUI not allow anyone to change its animation?

Not to be confusing, they said as below in the issue:

thank you for reporting this. The animations are different by design, there are no plans to make changes here.

Can MenuFlyout replace all CommandBarFlyout?

They serve different purposes so we can't just replace them all.
