Hello I installed package for Rawhide https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware:/razer/Fedora_Rawhide/noarch/polychromatic-0.8.1-1.26.noarch.rpm on normal Fedora and it works, however I have issues with Applet.

@kuraiteku If the tray applet is functionally working, most of this looks expected under a GNOME desktop.

GNOME presents the applet very differently to other desktop environments, like it doesn't show submenus to the side, doesn't support icons and everything gets listed quite flat. The background colour changes when the top level option is opened up. Personally, I find it confusing.

GNOME 42.5 (Ubuntu 22.04)

KDE 5.27.5

That said, I can see some visual issues in your Fedora screenshot that this app has no control over. That would be an issue with the system's theme:

• Separators probably shouldn't have a different background colour for submenus.
• Items like "Scroll Wheel" and "Logo" are actually supposed to be disabled (greyed out).

I just found out by testing that in Ubuntu 22.04, the third submenu doesn't open.
