The benefits of changing to CSS-sprites:
- faster, sprite image cached to CSS file
- cleaner template code, remove image URLs to the CSS file
- opens the door for making it easier to update and customize the application's
UX
Work Jason Simanek will be doing to complete this ticket:
- develop CSS class system for presenting hyperlinks as icons in UX
- assemble all 16px icons into one consolidated sprite image
CSS classes will be something like this:
icon overflow, display, padding, margin, width, height,
background-image:url(images/icons_16px.png);
icon-edit background-position
icon-save background-position
At the moment it looks like all icons are the same dimensions: 16 x 16px. Once
the above tasks are completed it will be easier to switch to different-sized
icon sets. However, in the event that various icon sizes will be integrated
simultaneously, I think it will be practical to consider the "icon" class as
the primary icon size and then create new classes such as "icon-small" and
"icon-large" for icon size variations that will employ a different sprite
collection.
