} ... glyphish
But... my sprites are complex...
--padding 5px
--padding only for some files? add.png add_10.png add_10-20.png add_10-5-20-4.png
--algorithm square vertical horizontal diagonal vertical right horizontal bottom
--ordering maxside width height area
Pseudo Classes pay.png pay_hover.png Think about this... It’s freaking cool
:)
--crop
--project sprites !"" actions # !"" add.png # $"" remove.png
!"" borders # !"" top_left.png # $"" top_right.png $"" icons !"" comment.png !"" new.png $"" rss.png
--cachebuster sprite_4d3ad.png sprite.png?4d3ad
