I use Focus follows the mose and with that setting, global menu is only usable for maximized apps (or possibly for apps whose upper edge is directly next to the panel). For that reason, for unmaximized windows, I use menu in the individual windows. So I would love it if I could configure appmenu to hide when the active window is not maximized, because right now, it is just visual clutter for unmaximized windows.
