[TYPO3-core] RFC #13354: Reorganization of CSS stylesheets and icons within the Core.

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi all!

I think we will internally discuss the patch and may be split it up, to  
only reorganize the stylesheets.
Will discuss this with Fabien.

Yes, we should only deprecate it (calling skinImg with sth. from gfx/).
Removing was our first apporach @UXW, but of course this can't be done for  
4.4

We had few discussions about this already. How the build should be done,  
and when it should be rebuilt.
One apporach (my favour) would be to have a kind of BE-cache (also needed  
for the merged/compressed CSS/JS), by which you can trigger a rebuild. But  
generation should be done automatically by TYPO3's magic. For the first  
instance, removing some files in typo3temp/ could suffice as "cache  
clearing".

If there's still need for discussing the sprites, please continue on the  
dev list.
