My menubar is burgundy, and I'd like it to be light blue. I keep searching for how to change its color, but all I get is answers about changing its transparency. How do I make my burgundy menu bar blue?
Turns out someone has written an app called "Boring Old Menu Bar" for Big Sur. There is a free 14 day trial. I haven't tried it.
The menu bar color is based on the desktop background image. You would have to find an appropriate image.

And I would like to be thinner. It won't be blue without a different wallpaper.
My desktop background image is called Yavin Flyby... when the rebels are flying around a planet to destroy the Death Star in Star Wars (not A New Hope---STAR WARS released in 1978). I don't want to change it, but I want my menu bar to be blue.
But I MUST have this wallpaper:
I've looked at that. It does some nice stuff, but changing menu bar color doesn't seem to be one of the features. Still, you're right. I should at least give it a go.
Holy beautiful menu bar, Batman. This fixed everything. $10 well spent.
Good to hear.
According to one review…
"If all you want is to revert to what you had before the update, you can opt for the Catalina-style menu bar, either the dark or light variants. If you want something different, there are white, black, and gray alternatives, or you can just pick a custom color."
No idea if it's true or not.
Change Menu Bar Color (Not Transparency)
