First of all, the your two images ml-pnC.png and en-pnEqf.png look very nice but they are huge and not suitable for the places the icons of the m17n-db input methods are usually shown. For example the icon hi-itrans.mim (https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/m17n/m17n-db.git/tree/icons/hi-itrans.png) for the hi-itrans.mim input method and other looks like this in the input switcher overlay window (Screenshot-input-method-switcher.png, usually this pops up like this when Super+space is typed except on Gnome where it looks different), the ibus-setup tool (Screenshot-ibus-setup.png), the ibus-typing-booster setup tool (Screenshot-ibus-typing-booster-setup.png), the ibus floating panel (Screenshot-floating-panel.png), the panel of the window-manger/desktop (Screenshot-panel.png, here from the i3 window manager as an example). In all these places, only a square icon really fits well. The existing icons in https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/m17n/m17n-db.git/tree/icons are all 48x48 pixel transparent png files. Also in this online documentation, the icons for all input methods are square: ttps://www.nongnu.org/m17n/manual-en/m17nDBData.html Can you make 48x48 transparent png icons like this for your input methods?
