This takes up about 20% of the screen in landscape mode on mobile; and about 25% on a 170% zoom on a 1366x768 desktop.
Is clicking anywhere in such a huge empty top bar worth it for so much screen being devoted to whitespace? I'd rather have a little bit of text covered under the menu button (usually shouldn't be an issue due to scrolling being available, plus, the menuicon being on the right side of the left-aligned text helps, too) than setting aside 1/4th of my screen to avoid the slight inconvenience!
