keyboard icon in indicator applet does not match ubuntu-mono theme

[pablomme]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

This is on up-to-date Maverick. The newly-added keyboard indicator in indicator-applet has an icon (it didn't have one when it lived in the old notification area) which doesn't match the style of the ubuntu-mono theme for indicator icons (at least for the Radiance theme which I use, although I think the default Ambience theme is likewise affected).

To see this, open System > Preferences > Keyboard, go to the Layouts tab, click "Add...", select a layout and press "Add". The indicator will then appear on the indicator-applet, along with its icon. The icon uses shades of grey and smooth borders rather than the more black-and-white-ish look of the other icons.

The bug might be in the artwork package, but I can't find its name at this moment.

My solution to the problem of the duplicate icon/text was to create SVG language flags. If anyone else would like them they are posted at http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Language+Flags+for+Faenza+Dark+Panel?content=133910 (for dark panels) and http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Language+Flags+for+Faenza+and+Elementary?content=133726 (for light panels). The light-panel version looks best with Faenza or Elementary iconsets, but is also not bad with ubuntu-mono-light. The dark panel version is really best suited for Faenza. If there's enough interest, I can create another set to match ubuntu-mono-dark. The gnome-look.org pages include instructions for installing the sets. And if I've missed your language, let me know the code and I'll add it to the set.
