``` popover ├── box.emoji-searchbar │ ╰── entry.search ╰── box.emoji-toolbar ├── button.image-button.emoji-section ├── ... ╰── button.image-button.emoji-section ```

Every `GtkEmojiChooser` consists of a main node called popover. The contents of the popover are largely implementation defined and supposed to inherit general styles. The top searchbar used to search emoji and gets the .emoji-searchbar style class itself. The bottom toolbar used to switch between different emoji categories consists of buttons with the .emoji-section style class and gets the .emoji-toolbar style class itself.
