CSS Sprites implementation

[Mooff]

We are using css sprites with our vB4 installation.

You'll find our addon here:

I just wanted to post a quick comment to Lynne. I think vBulletin goes at it the wrong way. As a forum administrator there shouldn't be a need at all to understand CSS.
If i want to change the colors of my board this should be really easy - i click here make it red, i click there add a background etc.
Instead we were told:
- install firebug
- finde the according classname
- search through templates
- find the according stylevar.

This is not the way it should be. Same goes for sprites. They are very usefull, but you shouldn't have to be a tech admin to use them. In fact via our addon you don't have to be. You hit create and search-replace some code in your templates - the latter part wouldn't even be necessary given it would be a vb-default feature. Then the templates would have some if-condition to check whether the board admin chose to use sprites.

And if one does want to change one icon - change it (make it blue, make it bigger, doesn't matter), upload it, hit refresh - new sprite is created - done.
