[TYPO3-dev] How to transform code to use sprites

[Nicolas de Haen]

Hi Steffen,

could you please give me a hint how to implement a custom icon for a 
custom doktype with the new API?

With the old API I had:
$PAGES_TYPES[$myDoktypeID] = array(
		'type' => 'web',
		'icon' => 'cat1',
		'allowedTables' => '*',
		'tx_myExtension'=>1);

and
$TBE_STYLES['skinImg']['gfx/i/cat1'] = array(
	t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath('myExtensiom').'category.gif',
	'width="16" height="16"'
);

Thanks,
Nico
