What about setting a white background, which yields a white menubar?

A color logo might be added with an overlay app – or you reminisce a black&white screen.

So are we supposed to make custom backgrounds with a 30px white bar on top instead of expecting this to be an option in the settings like in every other sanely customizable OS?

seconding the overlay app, i forgot the name but there was an app that can configure the appearance of the menubar. maybe it's my menubar icon organizer? Not dozer or bartender, but can't recall right now

Ice organizes menubar icons and can alter the bar's appearance.
