Note about enabling showFlag by default: Flags only show the language and don't distinguish between variant layouts (e.g. US vs. US Dvorak). So users with more than one layout for same language will experience a usability regression if we just enable showFlags!
I see 3 ways to fix it: - Add a mode where the string is shown alongside the flag. - Add a mode where the string is shown over the flag. This saves space on the panel. It might be worse for people with disabilities (but wouldn't they then disable flags anyway?) - Add a way to choose personal images per layout. This allows people to represent layouts however they want, but requires effort to be used. If such flexibility is a goal, it's probably OK if people have to edit some file to change the layout->image mapping. Anyway, this can't be the only (or default) option (unless we provide cute images for each layout, which we probably won't). BTW, the string only differnetiates such layouts as "USA" vs. "USA2". This is quite cryptic and maybe should be replaced with the full name? However some layout names are very long, so showing them would be impracticle. Also, the applet already shows the full name in a tooltip when you hover the mouse over it. -- Keyboard indicator flags are missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
