![](img/img.png)

Enhances language labels in `evdev.xml` by replacing them with Emoji flags based on ISO 3166 codes.

## Installation

1. Clone this repository.

2. Run `python3 glyphs2flags.py` to generate `evdev.xml`.

3. Make a backup `cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml evdev.bkp`

4. Replace original `evdev.xml` with modified one `cp evdev.xml /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml`

5. Restart GDM `killall -SIGQUIT gnome-shell` or reboot to apply changes.

6. Enjoy improved language labels with Emoji flags.

To revert changes, return the backup to it's place `cp evdev.bkp /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml` and restart GDM.
