Q:

The splitview items aren't properly stacking beneath hamburger button

I am working on Visual Studio 2015 and trying to make a hamburger style navigation... but the  items of the pane of the splitview are automatically getting a margin, and are not properly stacking beneath the hamburger button [look at the attached image]. I want them to properly stack beneath the Hamburger button on the leftmost of the grid.
I want to use the listbox so that when user navigates to a different page, it remains selected/highlighted, so I can't remove that. 
I have attached the MainPage.xaml code and the code of the style i have used. Hope you would help .. Thanks!

<Application.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="Image" x:Key="SplitviewLogoStyle">

    </Style>

 

A:

ListBoxItem has a default padding (that's the opposite of a margin) of "12,11,12,13". Try setting the Padding of the ListBoxItems to 0 then it should be aligned to the left. To set it in the center you could do something like this:
<ListBoxItem Name="MenuItemUnitConverter" Padding="0">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Image Margin="4" Source="Assets/unitconverterlogo.png" Style="{StaticResource SplitviewLogoStyle}" />
        <TextBlock FontSize="24" Margin="20,0,0,0">
            <Run Text="Unit Converter"/>
        </TextBlock>
    </StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>

And modify the Style so that image's margin on left + width + image's margin on the right = SplitView.Width (4+48+4=56):
<Style TargetType="Image" x:Key="SplitviewLogoStyle">
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="50" />
    <Setter Property="Width" Value="48" />
</Style>
