Hey, thanks for checking with me prior.

I'd say something like that is out of scope of Ironbar, because otherwise we start seeing the scope extend past being a bar and into the territory of being a whole UI kit or shell.

If you want to work on it as a separate project though, I'd be happy to co-operate to see how we can integrate the two.

FYI, there's a GTK rofi-like menu called anyrun also written in Rust you might want to have a look at.
