A way to create Ventura (macOS 13) wide layout icons?

[Nikita Prokopov]

New icons seem to be 22x16.

If I create 16x16, I get square with proper height, but not wide enough (see Russian — Helix)
If I create square icon with rectangle inside, it gets smaller than needed (see English — Helix)
iconutil doesn’t seem to accept 22x16 files (or anything that’s non-standard sizes)

Any idea how to match new system icons?

Hi Nikita,

You’re right, this is a problem currently. If you search this group for "icon", you’ll find lots of ideas and attempts, but no solutions so far.

In the past, keyboard layout icons were images, but now they are created on the fly, so the whole situation has changed.

I’m sure John is keeping an eye on any developments on Apple’s side, but for now, we have to be satisfied with the old-fashioned icons.

Personally, I don’t mind, because I like those colorful pictures better :-)
Also, the custom layouts I use are not linked to 1 language in particular, so a text-based icon wouldn’t even make much sense in my case.

From my own experiments with Icon Composer 2x, I can confirm that only square images are accepted, so this may be dictated by the .icns format.
