Description
**Device model, version and app version**
Model Name:
macOS Version: 26.5.1
App Version: 2026.05.0 (2026.1984)
Safari Version:
**Home Assistant Core Version**
2026.7.1
**Describe the bug**
The menu bar icon is bigger than other menu bar icons. To follow best practices and have consistency in the menu bar it [should be 16x16pt.](https://bjango.com/articles/designingmenubarextras/)
There is also no retina asset used, which makes the icon look blurry on retina screens.
**To Reproduce**
**Expected behavior**
**Screenshots**
**Additional context**
I would suggest either using a vector file or adding @2x asset.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the macOS menu bar status-item icon entry point and inspect the existing icon assets; the issue supplies statusItemIcon.pdf plus SVG, 16x16 PNG, and retina PNG alternatives. Verify the rendered icon is 16x16pt and sharp on a Retina display, and confirm the menu bar appearance matches neighboring icons.
