how to make menu bar smaller on macOS Monterey like it was in Catalina ?

I think after Big Sur update, menu bar is being less esthetical. Is there any fix for this problem. Will be an option for next releases?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

If you increase the Display resolution it will in effect make the menubar smaller..
