Menu

A popover list of actions or a small panel anchored to the control that opened it: an item's ⋮, the pen-presets button, the journal date pill.

Consumer provides: the trigger, an optional header naming the subject, the items.

Rules

• 2 dp ink frame, radius-md, 48 dp items (56 on the tablet) with a leading icon.
• Anchored: opens directly below (or above, near the bottom) its trigger, edge-aligned to it. The trigger shows its selected state while the menu is open; an item row turns active.
• Optional muted header naming the subject ("kubernetes") when the menu could be read as global.
• Destructive items in urgent, last, after a divider, ending in "…" when a confirmation follows.
• Not for tools. Editing tools never live in labelled menus — they go in the » ToolTray.

Compose

DropdownMenu with shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp), border = BorderStroke(2.dp, ink), shadowElevation = 0.dp, tonalElevation = 0.dp.

In the app

InkDropdownMenu: static, bounded options with selected and checked semantics, on both devices.

• Opens 4 dp below its trigger, or above it near the bottom of the window.
• Aligns to the trigger's nearer edge, so a trailing ⋮ gets an end-aligned menu.
• Stays 8 dp from the window edges.
• 4 dp vertical padding; items have a 24 dp leading icon.
• The selected row has the sage fill, Bold text and a trailing check.
• Only the pen-preset picker becomes a titled bottom sheet on the phone.
• Labels are descriptive, never technical IDs.
