The Change Language Droplist was added as a standard feature to TNG version 9, moving the language pull down to the same line as the other pull down menus. This mod is therefore obsolete or not needed with TNG V9. The TNG V9 of the mod supports the use of a flag icon display. |

Image Border
A 1 pixel border is added to the menu icon image in v8.1.6c for clarity.
You can change the attributes for .dropflaggif in the .cfg file or add the following to your
templates/template#/css/mytngstyle.css folder replacing the border attributes with your preferences.
An attribute of '0px' will remove the border. #cccccc is a light gray. Change to suit.
For template 8 Graham Chamberlain suggests #b99852. This color also looks nice in template 6.
.dropflaggif {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
