## Changelog

### 2024-10-30 Classes for DropdownMenu.SubTrigger

* Added `gap-2 [&_svg]:pointer-events-none [&_svg]:size-4 [&_svg]:shrink-0` to the `<DropdownMenu.SubTrigger>` to automatically style icon inside the dropdown menu sub trigger.
* Removed `size-4` from the icon inside the `<DropdownMenu.SubTrigger>` since it is now handled by the parent `<DropdownMenu.SubTrigger>`.
