eselick,
You can reconstruct the Navbar (which probably is a Xara creation anyway) and reduce the padding. But if you have only four main links, much simpler to create those links as text links and mount them on a menu bar e.g.
Assumed here you have the links and menu bar set to sticky, the menu bar can be set to full width too.
Were you to try using stick-at-top, there are a few extra steps to get this to work correctly and display at full browser width e.g. https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/satmenu/
Personally, I'm not a fan of SaT, but it can be made to work correctly.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm still thinking about the issue and hoping that there is some way of keeping the original Xara navbar and somehow adjusting the top and bottom padding or margins.
It would be easier to create a Navbar from scratch, but in your example reducing the height of the shapes used in the Navbar can be achieved by ungrouping the graphics, reducing the height of the shapes and re-creating the Navbar.
Downside is the text does not vertically centre without ungrouping the buttons and realigning the text; then you might as well have started from scratch! Vertical alignment might not matter here as it looks like your Navbar shape colours are the same as the background.
There are lots of ways to do this; Xara Help covers it fairly well too.
