Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Added a handler for WM_NCACTIVATE to propagate the focus change to the Titlebar Control. I believe the current implementation using VisualStateManager is Naïve and it would be great if somebody could tell me how to improve it 😊.

The unfocused color is currently set to red because I haven't figured out the correct color to use, I will update it soon :)

Validation Steps Performed

None
Typed code on phone, PC is too weak to compile the whole project and I'm too lazy to make a relatively small POC, so I don't know if it even works!

Also, My combined knowledge of c++ and xaml is still miniscule, so please have mercy😅😅
