Help Image in Linux

[soraxas]

Hi! Thanks for the very wonderful implementation of these layout switcher!

I have both a window and linux machine. I found that your OSD (on screen display) in windows is extremely useful, especially for getting used to the powerful extended layer ∩(◕‿◕｡)∩～♪

Would it be possible to have something like that in linux as well? (is it already possible?) It would be extremely handy to have it around. Thanks!

Glad you're enjoying my implementations! ヽ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )/

Well, on Windows I have made a program for this, while for Linux it's all done inside the XKB protocol. So obviously the Linux version will be more integrated but less fancy. However, my XKB files do contain geometry descriptions so the standard Linux help images for layouts should work with my files. That's the best you'll get I think – short of copying some help images over from the Windows comp?
