styling

I have added a default menu control into my user control. It is being combined with some other controls as part of a custom Window chrome. I need to style the menu to make it appear simpler. The main thing I need to do is to remove the left margin containing the space for the icon or checkbox. How can I do this?

XAML:

<Menu>
    <MenuItem Header="MyMeny" FontSize="10">
        <MenuItem Header="Options..." />
        <MenuItem Header="About" />
    </MenuItem>
</Menu>
