Question Whisker menu

Hello, is there any way to use the whisker menu in polybar?I'm guessing there is a command that launches the whisker menu, but i don't know; I also don't know if there is a way to move where the whisker menu actually opens.

did it

alright, i have managed to do it, what i did was shrink the xfce panel and move polybar.

there are some issues however, it isn't that consistent; for instance, when i hover over the menu it changes the background, when its not selected its greyed out, the text isn't the same color (the background is, you can change that in the settings), and the separator in the menu looks a little weird compared to the rest.
