Reduce CPU usage and memory footprint when app UI is not on-screen #3346

The app should not keep the Settings window and the App Menu in memory and maintain its presentation when it is not hidden. Although this speeds up opening up the menu or Settings, most of the time users don't interact with the app so it makes more sense to trade-off these to lower overall footprint when running in the background.
