(Updated) Better Swedish Flags

Description
REPLACEMENT FLAGS FOR SWEDEN.

I was quite disappointed with the Scandinavian flags in HOI4, especially the way that changing ideology doesn't feel satisfying at all in terms of flags. I decided to make my own versions instead.

Neutral/Democratic - I've not really changed it much apart from slightly adjusting the hue of blue to make it a tad darker, barely noticeable.

Fascist - I've kept the symbol since it makes sense, but I've added it to a shield to make it more militaristic and reminiscent of a war flag. I've also kept the nordic cross since a fascist Sweden would most likely want to retain the traditional Christian symbolism in it's flag aswell and keep the connection with the history of the flag.

Communist - First of all I felt that a communist Sweden would not want to keep it's Christian symbolism in the flag, but still maintain it's "Swedishness" so I removed the vertical stripe and lowered the horizontal one. I then added a vertical hammer and sickle separated by a red star to make it feel less like a soviet puppet state and more like it's own nation.

I primarily made these for myself since I couldn't find any other mod changing only the Scandinavian flags but I decided to share them for anyone else having the same problem

Please check out the other flags I made for HOI4 if you like:

DENMARK: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=702570237
NORWAY: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=702581133

UPDATE: 5 May, 2020 - The mod should now state that it is up-to-date. Please get back to me if the mod still says that it is out-of-date! :)

@Death Assassin: That is likely a different creator unfortunately. I think I have all of my mods for the nordic and scandinavian flags up and listed here in the description.

Are you the creator of fictional Swedish flag mod? I noticed it was removed from workshop. I would love to see it return

To those of you wanting an update: I am working on how to sort this out (I know it's been a while), the mod works fine despite it saying it is the wrong version. What is prompting that warning is that the mod descriptor file has the line "supported_version="1.1.*" " in it, making the game think it is outdated for the current version. That is all, the image files still work with the current version of the game.

Back when this first happened, after the game updated from 1.1 to the next update, I tried to simply fix it, but steam workshop being what it was, simply decided to upload copies of my mod instead of updating them. I am unaccustomed to the steam workshop from a modder's point of view and thus I am probably just unaware of how to easily solve this. I am making another attempt at simply updating the mod and I guess you'll see if it worked if there's a "last updated * **, 2020 @ **:** " in the top right description :)

@TheEthanTyler
Sorry for the late reply, didn't get a notification about your comment. I used a free software called GIMP, similar to Photoshop.

What program do you use to make these flags
