Separators no longer shown in Backstage

[MarcelVersteeg]

I just upgraded Fluent.Ribbon from version 8.0.1 to version 9.0.4. Now my separators are no longer shown in the Backstage and the tab headers are also no longer aligned (they indent further with every separator).

In my XAML I use a styled System.Windows.Controls.Separator for the separator. Even if I do not set the Style attribute, the separator is not shown and the tab header do not align correctly in version 9.0.4 while it was with version 8.0.1. If I replace the System.Windows.Controls.Separator with an unstyled Fluent.SeparatorTabItem, the separators do show in the default color and the items correctly align, but I want to give the separators another color. Setting the Foreground or Background properties of the SeparatorTabItem does not work and if apply the style I previously used for the System.Windows.Controls.Separator (changing the type to apply it to to Fluent.SeparatorTabItem), the separator disappears again and the items are no longer aligned.

How can I change the color of the separator in the backstage?

You can still use a regular Separator.
You just have to set DockPanel.Dock="Top" on them.

The panel for the backstage was changed to be a DockPanel while fixing #936.
I totally forgot to add this to the list of breaking changes, as setting the dock alignment is now mandatory, as the default in WPF is Left.

That indeed did the trick. Thank you for the quick response!

I will change the code to automatically set the default dock value for all items added to the backstage.
That way people don't have to set it, if they want the default layout (top to bottom).
