How do you shrink the black bar at the top of the web console on ESXi 6.7

When opening a Web Console Session the black bar at the top which has the VM name and the Buttons Enforce US Keyboard Layout   View Fullscreen and Send Ctrl+Alt+Delete

is longer than it needs to be.   Adjusting the screen resolution on the VM Guest does not change the size of the black bar that holds these.

Is there a way to shrink the black bar since over the bottom half does not display anything and is useless making the usable part of the console screen smaller?

The web-based console was never designed to be a highly-polished, primary interactive portal for a VM. For that functionality, you should be using the VMware Remote Console (VMRC) application which can be downloaded from your MyVMware portal.
