Rebuild sprites should can must be part of the assets-rebuild
* for 99% of your sprites * “ ”
Rebuild assets happy path suggest .css .png + Build Sprites
/img/c/ .min.css .css site styles + .css = Compile styles /css/c/ .min.js site js .js + = Compile js /js/c/ ?
Glue Glue $command-line-sprites $command-line-sprites gluecss.com
Drop source images somewhere $ glue source output Party!
.sprite-icons-rainbow{ background-image:url(sprite.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: 247px 147px; width: 25px; height: 25px;
} ... fam fam fam

} ... 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
