[TYPO3-hci] <IMG> vs CSS-backgrounds

[Feodor Rykhtik]

Hello again,

Yes, It will ask some changes, but in the same time it gives huge
possibility of customization in future. More easy to make skins, better
possibilities for HCI-team to improve something.
.htaccess solution - of course it's possible to use, but it will work not
always - need to have mod_expires installed.

To make the structure of TYPO3 better I think, we should pass to CSS system.
Images - only for custom elements in the content of FE. Of course, it's my
personal opinion, but I would like to improve future releases.

Regards,
Feo.

IMO this makes sense for background-images only!

Out of this reason you should enable the .htaccess to get the expire
headers.

IMO it makes no sense to put all the icons (new, edit, delete,...) into
one image because this would mean we would need to switch all <img
src="new.gif" /> into <span class="btn" id="new">new</span> and add
something like
#id { whatever you need}

This would mean a massive change in many many files!
