[Phpmyadmin-devel] PMA Icon Spritify

Hi, I've got a huge patch ready. In my branch 'sprites' I have replaced the majority of all pma icons with sprites. This gives us the following advantages - In a few tests I saw that the overall amount of GET requests now has been reduced by 20-33% depending on the loaded page - In the process I removed all width/height attributes, and instead moving this style related property into the stylesheet file. This will also allow for much greater flexibility for theme makers. - The code altogether is easier to read. No more theme path required anymore. Example: - . ($cfg['MainPageIconic'] ? '<img class="icon" src="' . $pmaThemeImage . 's_vars.png" width="16" height="16" alt="" />' : '') + . ($cfg['MainPageIconic'] ? '<img class="icon ic_s_vars" src="themes/dot.gif" alt="" />' : '') Notes about the change: - The stylesheets now contain for each icon "name.png" a class "ic_name" that needs to be applied. - Sprites and CSS were automatically generated using http://spritegen.website-performance.org/ - this can be used to update the sprite data at a later point - I have not replaced the following icons for now: - Icons bigger than 16x16 - Icons being used with PMA_buttonOrImage() or PMA_linkOrButton() - CSS: Icons used as list-style-image or background-image - PMA_getIcon() now translates 'sdf.png' into a 'ic_sdf' class - Many help icons were sized 11x11 although the icon itself is 16x16. I changed this to 16x16, but using an extra class 'ic_b_help_s', so they can be still sized 11x11, if necessary. - I tested all pma pages I could reach with my local configuration, but there might be still some typos around. - I have merged my tree with the master branch yesterday (though a bit too late), so if we merge my code to master soon it should result in little merge conflicts.
