Unable to override CommandBar's MoreButton "EllipsisButton" style

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I want to override the style of the CommandBar’s “more button”. This button is using the EllipsisButton style but overriding this style does not have any effect.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Use the following code and start the app.

<Page [...]>
    <Page.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="EllipsisButton" TargetType="Button">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="4" />
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red" />
        </Style>
    </Page.Resources>

    <Grid>
        <CommandBar DefaultLabelPosition="Right">
            <AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="Action 1" />
            <AppBarButton Icon="Account" Label="Action 2" />

            <CommandBar.SecondaryCommands>
                <AppBarButton Icon="Add" Label="Action 3" />
                <AppBarButton Icon="AddFriend" Label="Action 4" />
            </CommandBar.SecondaryCommands>
        </CommandBar>
    </Grid>
</Page>

The “more button” content should be red and it should have a big red border.

Expected behavior

The custom style should be applied to the “more button”
