Subject: [PATCH] Give menu dropdown rows WPF-like height with centred content

The Simple theme sizes a menu row to its 16px icon plus margins (~24px), tighter
than the classic WPF menu. Raise MinHeight so the rows have comparable vertical
breathing room, and centre the icon, label and input-gesture text in the taller
row (the theme template leaves their VerticalAlignment unset, so a style reaches
them) instead of letting them sit at the top.
