@carljbowman do you have a design in mind for the contents of the drop-down? Perhaps a small icon menu like ScratchJr would be good to start?

[carljbowman]

@tmickel - I will create a more robust spec, but in the mean time we should plan for ScratchJr-esque menu with small icons as variables.

[tmickel]

It's feeling to me like we'll need to implement this as a fork of field_dropdown (e.g. field_dropdown_icons)

[tmickel]

Not sure how to deal with implementing the icon menu. Could make one by hand or try to implement a closure MenuItemRenderer? But we're going to be styling the menu and not sure how possible that is with closure..

[carljbowman]

If it is at all helpful, here is a very early sketch of menus. Pretty similar to ScratchJr but with Horizontal spacing and proportions.

I need to do some further explorations with different amounts of items, especially when the number of items is not a multiple of 3. Also state of selected item is still being ironed out.

[tmickel]

field_dropdown can take a goog.dom.createDom('img', {'src': ...}) as a parameter, but it breaks the rendering of the block...

Requires #128

I believe this is all set!
