MacOS Sonoma menubar size on MBP 14"

Hi!

After upgrade to MacOs Sonoma my menu bar became larger like about 1.5x. Tried to change font size (add more space button), tried different resolutions and found out that for some resolutions the menubar size is ok, but the screen size changes from fullscreen to some additional black lines on the upper and lower screen sizes, so menubar moves under the webcam island.

According to the reddit threads, looks like not only me got this issue, but here is not solution for it there.

Maybe someone here can help me with that?

Can you please tell the exact instructions how to return it's size back to normal via changing resolution to default?

I just installed a 13 air and a 16 MBP and the bar is ugly af!

how can we change it back ? I’m hiding it now but I prefer to have the bar just at a normal size…
