A little problem with putting the Status Bar in a toolbar, it don't look as nice as putting it directly in the TL. Is there something I can do about that?
It is so much dead area (read large margins) and if the window is not maximized there is a lot of lines around it. Can I get rid of all this?

Put the activex statusbar in a bottom-docked vfp toolbar (or it will not work correctly) in the main TL, and add your menu & toolbars also. Not really a lot to it...
