1.4.1

Patch after 1.4.0 — language selectors show flags in the dropdown.

1.4.1 is a small follow-up to 1.4.0. It does not change the side panel architecture. It fixes language menus that could not show flags in the open list.

AreaWhat changedWhy it matters
Language selectorsNative `<select>` menus cannot render SVGs in options. The extension now uses a custom select for UI language, presence language, onboarding, and per-presence locale. Each option shows its flag (or a globe for Auto / per-presence). The website footer language menu includes flags in the list as well.You can tell English, French, and Spanish apart in the open menu, not only from the closed trigger.

Language selectors

The previous language controls overlaid a flag on the closed field and used a native HTML select. Browsers strip custom markup from <option>, so the open list was text-only.

The extension dropdown is now a custom listbox (portal, so it is not clipped by rounded settings cards). The website footer still uses the shared Select, with a flag next to each locale in the menu.
