I have yet to use FM.  OTOH I have often wanted to put the mode line at
of my windows.  There are some hacks out on the web that approximate
such behavior.  They do so by usurping the header line, thereby breaking
various modes.

Putting the mode line at the top of the window is especially desirable on
large, high resolution screens.  When a buffer's contents does not fill
a vertical window there can be a large expanse of blank space between
EOB and that window's mode line.
