By comparing the heights of the register lines and the tabs I see that
I get 9 tabs in the height of 14 register lines whereas the photo
shows only about 6.5 tabs in 14 register lines.

I did find in the discussion and in other places how to set the padding around the menubar icons and text, and I see discussion in various places about changing the sidebar, but none of the changes I attempt have any impact.
