CSS Sprite for Tundra Theme

[daniel.carrera@…]

It'd be nice if Tundra combined images together (e.g. the 6 tree images) to avoid multiple HTTP requests (​CSS Sprite tutorial). I have a tundra-derived theme that does a CSS Sprite for the tree images, arrow images and buttons. I thought I'd submit my files and patch in case anyone is interested.

Limitations: Not throughly tested. Does not include tabs or RTL. Those shouldn't be hard to add, if the basic idea works and is accepted.

New (combined) images.

Patch to tundra.css

Hi. Thanks for the patch. We definitely want to do this. Your patch looks a bit out of date though. Tundra changed after the 1.0 release, and with the latest tundra (in trunk) I think everything is just gif files, plus we have more tree images (we have folders icons now).

But if you want to sprite-ify the latest stuff that would be great. (Should sign a CLA though, if you haven't already.)

refs #4114 ... I can work with daniel on this if he's interested in doing this in trunk. keep in mind, in tundra, some images can't be sprites (if they have to repeat in a direction) ... also they need an accompanying gif if they make use of alpha at all.

can assign to me if you like.

Ok, I'm willing to do this again with the new Tundra in trunk. Yes, I've signed the CLA. I'll do that tomorrow or Sunday. Maybe just the tree widget and see how that looks.

Dante: Could you send me an email so I know your email?

This patch it out of date as it stands. Bill: closing this ticket out for now. feel free to open more specific "needs a sprite" tickets as necessary, as I know you've been doing stuff towards this already.
