menus by default on small windows (unmaximized) still makes the app ugly or adds visual clutter.

so there were some mockups that tried to solve this (hide the menu to avoid clutter, but let you toggle it to be used in the unmaximized window):

mockup1; windicator (minute 4:32; i would probably use a cog icon like chrome):

mockup2; attached to window bar:

any of the two would probably work, and make the global menu in ubuntu, 1 step ahead of mac + the space saving, less visual clutter and usability of the traditional one.
