After creating a custom [1] keyboard layout with
Ukelele,
I wanted it to match the original layout's icon. It turns out that OS X stores
the country flags in
/System/Library/Keyboard Layouts/AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle/Contents/Resources/AppleKeyboardLayouts-L.dat.
I don't know the exact structure of that file, but the icons are simply there (look for icns in hex, i.e. 0x69636e73).
apple-kbd-dat-icon-extract.py is a quick and dirty script the exracts the
icons (icns files) from the above file and writes them to the specified
output directory.
[1] Not really custom. OS X doesn't support the БДС 5237-2005 Bulgarian phonetic layout (GNU/Linux does).
