Removing or changing national flag to letters?

anlity60 · 2018-12-08 08:25:05

Hey guys!

I have a problem with the national flag that shows keyboard prefference or something like that. It really messes with my vibe and design, and sticks out like a sore thumb. How can I remove or change it? I think it is a part of the system tray, so it means it is automatically ran on startup or something.

Please help!

Bonus: question: How do I make my windows a cool dark arc color, but not have it mess up my browser experience? I'm writing this on a dark grey box, with the submit button also being dark grey.

Please help

Thank you!

If you want to change it, right-click on the flag and select properties. Depending on the version, you should have options to toggle between image or text. If you want to completely remove it, right-click the panel, select Panel>Panel Properties, go to the Items tab and remove the "Keyboard Layouts" plugin.

Look for an Arc Dark theme browser extension - both firefox and chrome have one.

Thanks.

I can't right click it because it is in the notification area (actually, I can but I only get the information option). I always thought that hiding stuff on the notification area gave you an ugly arrow, but I have so much stuff to hide now that I use a "bloated" distro, that it's kinda useful, so I just hid it all.

Before that, I tried to find some random .svg icon with root priviledge, and copy and replace my flag in usr/share/xfce4/xkb/flags/ , but that totally didn't work, even after a restart, so I am kinda sad that I couldn't even brute force it hmm

Oh well, whatever..
Tnx again. Gonna look into those browser extensions...

Then it is something else. Possibly an indicator?
Which distro are you using?
What is the name of the indicator in the list or

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep systray | awk -F '-' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}')/names-ordered

This would only work if you are using the Xfce keyboard layouts plugin.
