How are you hiding the dropdown windows when the user clicks away from it?

This isn't a bug or a feature request. I was just curious how you implemented this functionality. I already have my own ags config which includes a bar for each monitor and a dropdown window. Right now, the only way to hide or show the dropdown window for my config is to click on a button on the bar. I'd love to be able to close the dropdown window by clicking away from it anywhere.

I tried looking at your config but couldn't figure out how you accomplished this. I'm guessing it has something to do with all the EventBox widgets in DropdownMenu?

You're exactly right. In the DropdownMenu, I have 2 EventBoxes. The parent EventBox that covers the entire screen (className: "parent-event"). This parent event box will then close the window if it registers a click.

Then I have a child EventBox inside of the parent EventBox above. This child also registers clicks but it returns true instead. This allows you to interact with it's children; which in our case would be the dropdown menu's contents itself.
