I've just looked around to find a suggestion, but no success.
So is there a way/chance to make the keyboard indicator applet to corespond better with gconf and to take the settings from there, or just to make it showing country flag instead of text |

Nice idea but I don't find any svg flags set... If you find that it can be interesting |

It doesn't seem to be so hard to do |

they are all in wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_flags
and you can choose from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sovereign-state_flags
but as we know they are so many [in]dependent countries and they can't be included all, so the suggestion is just to have a field where user can put its own image, or to grab the gconf settings, and if the user is already using a flag in his own settings, just to use it as a image or/and to copy it into current_theme folder |

Thanks !
Maybe with a script to download flags from Wikipedia because a backage with all flag can be heavy : see the Flag of Spain (230 KB) or Belize (268KB) |

corespond better with gconf
I don't see.
the applet corresponds to the X keyboard layout.
by the way, I've made some modification (1 bug fix on the icon refresh and the distinction between Fra and Fra2 (for example)) |

Look what i found
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sodipodi/files/sodipodi-clipart/flags-1.6/
it's from 2004 but from then how many new countries we have
the other idea if it gonna be included, to include just the main countries, like all in EU, North America, The main one from South America, Big ones from Asia, and 1 flag for Antarctica coz the flags used in kbd settings aren't more than 10-15
What do u think
PS: the other idea is to see which countries are included in gnome-keyboard-properties and to be included here |

Really nice !!
Maybe we can put the "nations" repertory on http://themes.glx-dock.org/ . And add an option to download or not flags corresponding to our keyboard
What do you think ? |

It gonna be nice if there is an option like the gauges, use gauge ot graph, so use text or flag, coz it looks ugly if the text is above the flag and actually people like me won't like the idea, coz i am typing with US layout, but using German flag coz i don't know why, but US flag drives me crazy and i prefer DE instead US |

hmmm
ok so a flag on the icon, next to the text ?
or above ? I think there is usually more space above the text than next to it.
could be done easily in fact, if we have a list of flags on the server, each named by country.png, or maybe rather shortname.png. |

no no,
just using the flag for icon, or only text, like it is in GNOME's keyboard-indicator |
