[SOLVED] System tray menu for polybar in bspwm / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

So I recently decided to try out Arch (I have bspwm as my wm) and have spent quite a considerable amount of time trying to set up my desktop; for the most part, it's coming along nicely. One part i'm currently stuck at is polybar. I have managed to set up a bar with different modules that technically "work." But it all just seems so hacky.. there must be better solutions. For example, my wlan module is as follows

which brings up nm-connection-editor on left-click. So, this works fine.. but I don't like the fact that it brings up a window rather than just a drop-down menu. So I then came across Stalonetray and it generates some icons that do produce a drop-down menu like I want. Problem is, it doesn't exactly (seem to) integrate at all with polybar. I was wondering if there was anything that perhaps I'm not aware of that would give me the ability to either produce drop-down menus or integrate it with polybar. Or perhaps there's a way to spawn a drop-down list on left-click on a polybar module (similar to calling a script but perhaps spawns a drop-down list)?

Ultimately what I'm after is a drop-down menu for wlan, dropbox, volume, power, etc. And the rest of my modules I'm perfectly happy with. I really like polybars highly customization aspect, so if possible I'd like to stick with it.

Your help is greatly appreciated
