You can do it in code behind on the Loaded event. Loaded="Ribbon_OnLoaded"

private void Ribbon_OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        int childControlCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount((System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.Ribbon)sender);

        if (childControlCount != 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0;
                i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount((System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.Ribbon)sender);
                i++)
            {
                DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.Ribbon)sender, i);

                if (child is Grid)
                {
                    ((Grid)child).RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
                }
            }
        }
    }

The content needs to be hosted inside a RibbonWindow instead.

If I use the RibbonWindow, then indeed the problem is fixed but suddently it gets the Win2000 look. I'm running Win8x64. – Rik De Peuter Jul 22 '14 at 09:15
Sorry but how can you get the Win2K look in Win 8 ? You should ask a question, post a screenshot and some code so people can help you better. – aybe Jul 22 '14 at 18:37
