Another quick word on gradients.
I'm not so sure whether we should implement them at all. Those gradients are mostly used for background manipulation and in the styles i made for our board i used those gradients in many places. Places they weren't used in the default vb version and i removed them in a lot of backgrounds where vbulletin has them.
I personally think it will be impossible for us to create the addon in a way that we will automatically find all the places where you have used this one particular gradient - and will end up in serving the background some times via sprite and some times via icon.

But you can add those gradients in the sprite yourself. Since 0.6.0 we have added the
posibility to add custom icons into the sprite via the plugin-hook sprite_add_icon.
Be aware that this option is meant for experienced users and will probably stay that way for a long time. That aside, if you are using a modded style it gives the style designer the opportunity to offer a plugin to our addon, which includes all his additional graphics.
