In PulseView I found this problem - redundancy between the toolbar and 
menu bar. So I combined the two to save space into a toolbar with a 
burger menu on the right:

I've also removed the status bar. The goal of all this is to eliminate 
as many bars as possible which makes the UI keep the canvas space as 
large as possible for actual work.
