Vertical Taskbar for Windows 11 - huge tray icon area

[WegnerDan]

I really like that I can finally have a vertical taskbar in win11!
But the tray icon area is really large. On Win10 and before, I used to have a similar taskbar setup, but the icons weren't in one row, but took up the available horizontal and vertical space.

Is there a way to get the same thing with this mod?

I know I have a lot of crap running, but I'm using all of it.
I've already disabled the widgets, so the weather stuff isn't displayed anymore.

I made photoshop mockup of what I mean:
