This is working out well for me.  One question has been raised by my UI specialists.  When docked above the ribbon, the separator is a couple of pixels too high, as shown below:

 
It looks fine when docked below the ribbon. 
 
 
I think I've found the code that draws this in CXTPOffice2003Theme::DrawCommandBarSeparator.
 
...
else if (pBar->GetPosition() == xtpBarTop || pBar->GetPosition() == xtpBarBottom || bSkipWrapSeparators)
 {
  if (!pControl->GetWrap())
  {
   Line(pDC, rcControl.left - 4, rcRow.top + 4, rcControl.left - 4, rcRow.bottom - 4, XPCOLOR_SEPARATOR);
   if (!m_bPlainSeparators) Line(pDC, rcControl.left - 3, rcRow.top + 5, rcControl.left - 3, rcRow.bottom - 3, COLOR_3DHIGHLIGHT);
  }
...
 
It looks like rcRow.top is what I want adjusted, but I don't see how to isolate the "above" case from the "below" case.  Additionally, it looks like this function is used by popup menus as well, and I don't want to hose those up.  Any suggestions for cleaning this up?

Thanks, please patch our sources - insert
 
  if (pControl->GetBeginGroup())
   nLeft += 6;
in CXTPRibbonBar::Reposition
 
before "if (!bSpecial && (nLeft + szControl.cx > nRight))"
 
Its changed for next release too.

My designers would like a separator capability on the quick access toolbar.  Something like this:

 
or this
 
 
I tried calling BeginGroup on a couple of controls, and got this.
 
 
That is servicable but not as aesthetically pleasing as I was hoping.  Is there any way to add some spacing around the bar to give a more obvious separation?  Is the second picture in my wish list even remotely possible?
 
Thanks.
