How about this idea: instead of a button to access LIM, show the GlobalMenu on the window bar? So LocalMenu instead of GlobalMenu? I don't know if you guys understand what I mean, but I think it could be a good way for LIM to operate.

Certainly the behaviour of titlebar in maximized and unmaximized are different. if the global menu is insisted, then LIM can be implemented as dynamic.

Once the above seems feasible, then LIM  is present in both states and the global menu is set off(by option as wished).  The windows control button be 5-6 mm from the top right corner, as it may solve the possibility of mistake of invoking the dash button while the window are in the maximized state. LIM icon be 3-4 mm from the windows control buttons and triggered by hovering.
