Answer:
Thanks to Justin XL I was able to fix my problem.
I implemented the style he provided below in his answer and added, as he said, this in the App.xaml: ( I changed the height to 66 - fits better for me)
<Application.Resources>
<x:Double x:Key="AppBarThemeCompactHeight">66</x:Double>
</Application.Resources>
and then this in my CommandBar
Height="{StaticResource AppBarThemeCompactHeight}"
Question:
I want my Command Bar to always show its Labels, in standard mode. I have Secondary Commands so IsOpen=true is not an option for me.
Right now I just see the Icons and no labels underneath.
The official Microsoft Site for Command Bar says this:
The app bar button controls are characterized by an icon and associated label. They have two sizes; normal and compact. By default, the text label is shown. When the IsCompact property is set to true, the text label is hidden. When used in a CommandBar control, the command bar overwrites the button's IsCompact property automatically as the command bar is opened and closed.
This kinda is an issue. Any ideas how I can make IsCompact=False work?
This can be done by editing the default style of the AppBarButton.
First, generate the default style using Blend, then locate the Compact visual state and change the Visibility target value form Collapsed to Visible. This way no matter what the IsCompact value is, the label will always be visible.

After applying the above style to all your buttons, there's one more thing you will need to do. At the moment the label is cut off due to the height of the CommandBar in compact mode. You will want to increase it so the label can fit in. There's a simple way to do this as I detailed it in my answer here. In your case, you will want to set the height to 76 (as the height of the AppBarButton will be 76).
