Show typing language/layout in the Win10 style language switcher tray item

Open rask opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

In Windows 11 I can have two ENG languages set both with different typing languages. In my case the typing languages/layouts are US-ANSI and FI-ISO. When I switch between languages in Windows 11, the tray item flips between showing ENG/US and ENG/FI as expected.

When I use EP to enable the Windows 10 style taskbar and tray (both the vanilla and EP versions), the language switcher does not display the typing language separately anymore. When I use Win+Space to flip between languages, I can't see which typing language I have enabled, meaning I have to use my mouse to open the switcher popup an manually select the one I need or check if the current selection is the right one.

Would it be possible to add typing language indicator to the Win10 language tray item?

Can you post images to better explain what you mean? I can try to replicate the new features they have added in the 11 taskbar to the 10 (EP) taskbar.

Here's EP's Win 10 tray:

And here's Windows 11's own tray:

Notice the FI right under ENG denoting which typing layout is picked.

EDIT: here are my Windows language settings
