What icon size did you set? Are these SF Symbols or icons you added?

M1 Macbooks have a much higher menubar on the internal screen than on external screens due to the notch

Icon Type: SF Symbols
Icon size: 30

I noticed that MacOS icons and other app icons don't have this problem.

Also, is there a way to enable Force click for these icons?
Example: When I force click, it performs some actions, and when I click normally it shows the context menu.

Thank you!

Unfortunately a menubar on standard screens only allows for 22px height.

I think even on the Notch Bar menubar all standard icons have a maximum height of 22px, so I'd recommend to set it to that value for now.
