This manages to put a border around it, but the tool bar panel takes up the whole screen.....

XML

<Border Name="ToolBarPanelBorder" BorderThickness="5" BorderBrush="Black">
                <ToolBarPanel  HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  Name="toolBarPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
                    <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                    <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                    <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                </ToolBarPanel>
        </Border>

But try using a grid row?

XML

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="40" />
        <RowDefinition Height="273*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Border Name="ToolBarPanelBorder" BorderThickness="5" BorderBrush="Black">
        <ToolBarPanel Grid.Row="0"   HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  Name="toolBarPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Orientation="Horizontal" Height="27">
                <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
            </ToolBarPanel>
    </Border>
</Grid>

Seems to work.

You can also change BG colour as well

XML

<Grid>
      <Grid.RowDefinitions>
          <RowDefinition Height="40" />
          <RowDefinition Height="273*" />
      </Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <Border Name="ToolBarPanelBorder" BorderThickness="5" BorderBrush="Black" Background="Aquamarine">
          <ToolBarPanel Grid.Row="0"   HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  Name="toolBarPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Orientation="Horizontal" Height="27">
                  <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                  <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
                  <Button Height="25" >Whazzzup!</Button>
              </ToolBarPanel>
      </Border>
  </Grid>
