What is the size of Gnome's top bar?

In order to run windowed programs at the maximum possible size I can set their resolution to the resolution of my monitor, but then there are several pixels off-screen below the window because the window is positioned below the Gnome Top Bar.

If I knew the size of the top-bar I could account for that, is there a way to find out what size it is exactly?

Maximize an active window

Then measure its size

Apply the new calculated size on your target program window

Just a theory, not sure if wmctrl and xdotool are still working fine with Wayland.
