Is there a way to set up an element state for the Menu Tree when that window is in focus? I would like to have 3 element states, inactive, hover, and active similar to this screenshot. ![58%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/f/ff88758c38a6ef4ee5bad2116bdb4c131b61fdeb.png)  
But the “active” element state in the style class only works when the menu link is actively being clicked on, then it goes back to an inactive state.  
Is there a different element state I need to be using?
