Low quality input country flags

[Viorel-Cătălin Răpițeanu]

> I don't understand this bug, are you saying flags of France and Romania
are shown differently even if the png files have the same size?

Of course that the png size is the same, but the France flag doesn't fill
the whole canvas. As a result of this, the flag seems smaller when
displayed in the panel.
Also, due to the format and size limitation, more complex flags (like that
of Nepal) can never be displayed correctly.

A solution for this would be replacing the png format with an svg one, but
I'm not sure exactly of the complete implications of such a change.

Kind regards,
Catalin
