This rendered Hidden Bar and Bartender obsolete for me, just reduce icons padding. You can still complement with Hidden Bar. I wish I had written down the original author to give credit:

``` defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int 6 defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 6

##After running these commands, you need to log out and log back in ```
