[Feature Request]: Top navigation similar to aws console

Description

For this component: https://cloudscape.design/components/top-navigation
It would be nice if it resembles the aws console top nav as it is more compact and creates more space for content.

Could you share more context with us? What is your use-case and what are the limitations that TopNavigation has for you?

Hello @hopkinsnji , when comparing AWS console with Cloudscape UI on regular FHD display, Navbar height is typically 40px vs 56px (as in 40 + 16, unless it's narrow viewport). One can argue which size would be ideal for a Navbar, but if you want to get close to what AWS console looks, suppose you already have an outer div with id "top-nav", you can try the following.

#top-nav [class^='awsui_top-navigation'] > [class^='awsui_padding-box'] {
  block-size: 40px;
}

#top-nav [class^='awsui_identity'] {
  [class^='awsui_logo'] {
    max-height: 24px;
  }
  [class^='awsui_title'] {
    font-size: medium;
  }
}

Now, I know it's definitely not the recommended way but just might solve your problem in a dev env.
