How-To:
Include custom icons to your sprite:

!Warning! very advanced - if you do not know what you are doing. Stop right here.


Custom icons are added via plugin and hook

• In the ACP create a new plugin
  • Add-on: vBulletin
  • Hook: sprite_add_icon
  • Titel: choose your own title. whatever makes sense for you
  • execution order: 5
  • PHP-CODE: (this is an example, path would be your icon, css would be the name of your icon!)
    

    $files[] = array(
        'path'    => $stylevars['imgdir_siteicons']['imagedir'] . '/add.png',
        'css'     => 'siteicons_add',
        'rollup'  => $CSS_FORUMHOME_ROLLUP,
        'height' => 23,
        'width' => 24,
        'padding' => array(
            'top'    => 4,
            'right'  => 4,
            'bottom' => 4,
            'left'   => 4
        )
    );

• As for the rollup part. Right now allways use $CSS_FORUMHOME_ROLLUP - in later versions we will have different sprites for FORUMHOME and SHOWTHREAD (f.e.) - then you can choose which one. right now stay with Forumhome.
• height, width and padding are optional. If you do not need them, delete all of those array values.
• set it to active
• save
• refresh css sprites
• modify the template in which your sprite is placed
  search
  

  <img srv="http://....customimage.png"  />

  replace
  

  <span class="sprite_custom_siteicons_add" title="custom image"></span>

• the icon should be loaded via the sprite now

I hope it helps. And do not say i didn't warn you. It is advanced.
