I use Swedish as my input language and I switch between Swedish and Norwegian keyboard layouts using left_alt + left_shift. By default i have the "input indicator" showing SWE in the system tray. This indicates the input language, which is always Swedish, and this is not of much use to me. What I need to know is which keyboard layout I'm using, and to see that I need to bring the mouse down and hover over the indicator.
What I would like is to have the Windows7-style language bar showing SV or NO respectively so that I can check with a glance. I have followed this guide: http://winaero.com/blog/get-the-old-language-indicator-and-language-bar-in-windows-10 which claims to do what I'm describing, but instead of the SV/NO indicator I get a little keyboard-symbol:
Again I have to hover in order to see which keyboard I'm using. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The language bar shows my language and keyboard settings is set to Swedish. I can change my keyboard layout, for example to Norwegian (NO), by pressing either alt+shift or win+space:
Keyboard layouts are added at:
Settings --> Time & Language --> Region & Language --> Svenska --> Options --> Add a keyboard.
