you can change above seperator for fancy 

 <Separator>
<Separator.Template>
    <ControlTemplate>
        <Border CornerRadius="6"
                Padding="1"
                Background="red"
                BorderBrush="blue"
                BorderThickness="3">
            <Line></Line>
        </Border>
    </ControlTemplate>
</Separator.Template>
</Separator>

Contextmenus are nothing but menus but work as context on any control.

Toolbar works very similar to stackpanel with defaulted horizantal orientation

Also it defaults different templates for the items in it -- like button in toolbar will have its own style(Pre Themed .. and can be overridden)

Status bar is also similar to toolbar
