Summary0003365: Doomseeker's GB flag is incorrect
DescriptionSo here's the nitpickiest ticket you've read in a while:

Doomseeker's GB flag is not a standard Union Flag as it does not have the red diagonal lines representing the Saint Patrick's Saltire.
Steps To ReproduceCompare:
'https://bytebucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/raw/8998d075e79f6d9edccab40373977a7ebed73927/media/flags/GBR.png [^]'
against any conformant Union Flag, e.g.:
'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg [^]'

Note how Doomseeker's lacks the red diagonal lines.
Additional InformationI am aware that the Saint Patrick's Saltire represents Ireland which has not been a part of the UK for a loong time. However, its use in the Union Flag is generally now used to represent Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK and is under the GBR country code.

Thanks for the bug report. Patches and files attached.


  1. The country flags are in the public domain, uploaded SVG is from Wikimedia Commons (File:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg).

  2. GBR.png was downscaled and stretched from Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.

  3. flag_template.GBR.xcf adopted from media/flags/flag_template.xcf in Doomseeker source.

  4. Patches by me (detailed historical explanation for this change in the commit description).



Note: GBR.png not optipng'd, I forgot.

GBR is also indeed the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for United Kingdom:'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3#Current_codes [^]'
