MacOS Sonoma Menu bar color

when MacOS Ventura was installed on my MacBook, the color of the top menu bar was translucent and matched the color of the app. I just installed MacOS Sonoma, and it unfortunately is white, regardless of it being on dark mode, showing the notch a lot more than before. How do I change the color of the menu bar, or will it stay that way? Thanks

MacBook Air, macOS 14.0

The default Sonoma background has a very light sky, causing the menu bar to appear almost light gray. I changed to one of the "Earth" backgrounds as they all have black in the top of the image.


The menu bar is transparent. Most of the landscape backgrounds have sky in the top making the menu bar seem very light.
