I’m using this amazing library for the first time and the only thing it doesn’t have is a menu.
So I’m trying to build my own menu using the elements provided by the library and I’m wondering if there is a simple way that this library can tell when an element like a button is being hovered.
When a button is clicked the mouse has to be over the button anyway.
I’ve been going through the docs but haven’t found the solution.

I didn’t know you could do that. 😄
Thanks a lot!
