Replace image buttons with css

[Atramez_Zeton]

that means more work in RTL styling and changing font for Tahoma in Arabic "Vendra is not always the best choice", either way its better for mobiles usage so +1

Have this not been merge yet?

[EXreaction]

Partially merged, the large buttons now are not using images.

[emosbat]

any plan to use css sprites?

[sajaki]

as long as we have the choice of specifying an image through css this change doesn't seem too harmful.

I just wonder, why it is different from the original buttons? It is not as difficult to immitate text from the images better. Just try to add this lines to the styles:

Code: Select all

.buttons div a {
	text-transform: uppercase;
	word-spacing: -5px;
	font-weight: 500;
}
.bolder {
	font-weight: bolder;
}

It would require to wrap either first word of the button, or all the others, to differentiate the boldness, but it at least is more eye catching (and closer to the original images), than the version used now, IMHO.

You're right, it looks much better

Ticket + pr?

Fonts are either bold or not bold, while varying levels of bold are in spec, they are not usable in any browser I know of.

Yes but I think the "Post Reply" text in the button could do with a bit of boldness at least. Should stand out from the other elements in that area, which right now it does not really stand out.
