Some changes to the search and menu bar are happening here https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/2561

Yeah, I think fully merging these two bars would be very difficult from a cross-platform perspective, but the new update will recover some real estate. I'll close this for now and we can revisit sometime in the future.

In case anyone wants to work on this and submit a PR, it looks like we could use Electron's "frameless window" API and then add styles for all platforms, but I haven't tried it. It would need to look and work properly on Linux, Windows and OSX builds.
