Hi,

When using the Polyland language switch widget in Bricks, there’s a setting to set the flag size, but whatever the value I enter in that field, the flag remain the same size.

I’m guessing Polylang may have changed the name of their flag dimension variable, because when inspecting the flag in the front-end I see that the --pll-flag-width variable is not set.

If I set a value for --pll-flag-width in my custom css the flags get the expected width (the variable is used by a span element with the .pll-switcher-flag class on it).

The --pll-flag-width variable not being set lines up with what you found in the inspector, so Bricks is likely writing to a variable name Polylang no longer uses for the widget span. Since setting the variable manually works, a scoped override with :root or the switcher container would restore the expected width without touching the plugin. Worth checking whether the theme version and Polylang are both current, as a mismatch can leave the control pointing at an old name. If it persists, reporting the variable name difference to the theme support would help them patch it.
