Status bar: Text unreadably small

[computerix]

After upgrading from gtk2 to gtk3, the height of the status bar increased (uselessly wasting space), but the text size decreased. On my high-res screen, text is now way too small to be readable (about half the size of the menu bar text size).

Please:

• Increase status bar text size at least to menu bar text size.
• Decrease status bar height (also to menu bar height).

I would think this is a GTK theme thing (at the very least the status bar height is), what happens if you select another theme?

Yes, I found it in the theme's css.
I was able to fix the font size, but not able to fix the height
(but I can live with the height).
