Expose property controlling the RibbonGroups Header Background

RibbonBar should set default GroupNames of the RadRadIoButtons used

The constructor of the GroupVariantCollection is internal

Reason for declining: The RadRibbonGroup uses the GroupVariantCollection internally and as there is no public property of type GroupVariantCollection there is not need for the constructor to be exposed. Also if the users wants to bind the Variants of the RadRibbonGroups they can use the VariantsSource property which is of type IEnumebable<GroupVariant>.

In SL this scenario is only in OOB mode, with BorderlessRoundCorners.

If a RibbonView is used in a WPF, where the Window SizeToContent property is set to WidthAndHeight, the Window takes too much space.

Allow ApplicationMenu to be editable in Blend. Make sure when clickon the application button the app menu is displayed in blend. Also add panels for the content and footer content for easier content adding.

The screentip should allow binding to text, image

The MinimizedPopup could be open/closed by using the SelectedIndex property of the RadRibbonView.

A sample implementation could be seen in the attached project.

Add a property to show/hide RibbonWindow Close/Minimize/Restore buttons panel

Add ScreenTip for the Application Button

UPDATE: RibbonView ApplicationButtonStyle property  can be used to apply a style on the ApplicationButton. Use the style to apply a ScreenTip on the button.

Add support for direct content of ribbon buttons (like using XAML vector graphics instead of images).

Open the Application menu.
Open one of its submenus.
Hover another button.

The opened submenu will not close.

Add panel element to the TabStripAdditionalContent property. This way it will be easier for the users to add content.

Declined: The existing API for the TabStripAdditionalContent property (of type Object) easily allows the users to customize and insert content depending on their requirements. For instance if you want to use data from ViewModel and list all of its Items you could use the following code:
<telerik:RadRibbonView.TabStripAdditionalContent>
	<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{}" >
		<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
			<ItemsPanelTemplate>
				<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
			</ItemsPanelTemplate>
		</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
	</ItemsControl>
</telerik:RadRibbonView.TabStripAdditionalContent>

Implement DirectionalNavigation

In application Menu, when hovering the dropdownbutton to open the RightPane, clicking an item in the Pane does not closes the application menu

This issue occurs when the ApplicationMenu is bound. The button in the ItemTemplate of the ApplicationMenu could be both RadSplitButton and RadDropDownButton. Their DropDownContent should not be displayed downwards, it should be displayed in the RightPane ( the Content of the Applicationmenu)

Declined: When the ApplicationMenu is in DataBound scenario the ItemsControl from which the ApplicationMenu inherits automatically creates ContentPresenters for each item and wraps their content. As the ApplicationMenu knows how to manage RadRibbonDropDown/Split buttons you will need to provide one of these containers as direct child of the  menu. You can achieve that using the following code, to show all items as RadRibbonDropDownButton:

public class CustomApplicationMenu : ApplicationMenu
    {
        protected override bool IsItemItsOwnContainerOverride(object item)
        {
            return false;
        }

        protected override DependencyObject GetContainerForItemOverride()
        {
            return new RadRibbonDropDownButton();
        }
    }

It is impossible to prevent the application menu from closing.

Note:  The ApplicationMenuOpenStateChanged event of the RadRibbonView could be used to prevent closing of Application menu. This approach is demonstrated in the attached project.

RibbonWindow throws a TypeInitializationException when used with VSTO Addin

Cite:
The problem is displaying ScreenTip for Application Button.
Move the mouse on Application Icon, no tooltip shows.
Click it to show the list of menus and go to the first item.
The ToolTip shows up under the menu.
