Description

There is no way to configure this at this time. The user has to click the up/down arrows if the options list doesn't fit the screen height. I think it would be nice to allow scrolling with the mouse wheel for a more friendly UX.

Research direction

Start by locating the CTkOptionMenu implementation and its existing up/down arrow scrolling behavior. Review how the option list handles mouse input, then add mouse-wheel scrolling for lists that exceed the screen height and verify that the list can be navigated without using the arrows.
