• I have specifically verified that this bug is not a common user error
• I am providing as much relevant information as I am able to in this bug report (Minimal config to reproduce the issue for example, if applicable)

Description of the bug

The systray widget seems to draw its own menus, whereas I would like it to let the program draw its own menus instead, if that makes sense. I'm not sure how it all works, but I have a couple of video clips I can show to demonstrate.

---

Apologies if this should be a feature request instead(?). Let me know if so and I'll do my best to convert it to one.

Reproducing the issue

Use the systray widget somewhere, and right-click an icon to bring up their menu. Preferably some program that renders a custom menu, e.g. Telegram Desktop.

Here's a video clip to show what it looks like with eww's systray widget.

eww_systray.mp4

Expected behaviour

Here's a video of stalonetray, and I am right-clicking the Telegram icon to bring up its menu -- seemingly a custom menu rendered by Telegram itself, rather than stalonetray.

Additional context

Anyway, I'm super stoked to have this functionality in eww! This is just great! 🙂 👏

Have you tried to remove all: unset; at the top of the default SCSS file?

* {
    all:unset;
}

Removing it will revert back to the default GTK style from your theme (unless you already styled the systray menus). It's not exactly what you are asking for, but better than nothing.

If you wish to style it yourself, I wrote about my attempt to style it with radio buttons, check boxes and sub-menu arrows visible, please refer to my comment here #1067 (comment)

Yes, I've tried without that unset. (I never had one to begin with.)

I don't think the Telegram menu is GTK though? It's a custom menu drawn by Telegram, surely? Did you take a look at the video clips?

I see you wrote it's not really what I'm asking for. No, it isn't. 😅 I really wish it would let the apps decide on their menus. 👍
