The VS Code Activity Bar will be a restyling of a NavigationView, so will break that off as a separate item. I have a couple of bugs and style things to tweak, but otherwise System & Edge styles tabs for Pivot are close. I should also swap out my |
What's the current status? |
I have some prototypes that work partially, but getting the Pivot to respond correctly for all scenarios is proving to be more work than this is probably worth. Recommending we close this in favor of #353 again, which I'm actually going to start looking at in more detail. |

It should look like the sample image in the docs which is mentioned to exist in the platform sample, but is not quite sufficient (see issue filed there).
Ideally I'd like to see three provided templates:
