Example now:
You have 6 styles, and all have different graphics for the headers/footers/etc. but still share a bunch of the same images (like attach images, etc.). So if you were to make a subdirectory images/stylename/ and have all your style-images in there, you'd need to copy a bunch of default images along as well.
To counter that, a good idea is to put all your images in the images/ folder itself, and just have good naming of your files.
On my board, I have files like ffo_on, ffo_off, ffo_newpm etc. (.gif) but also for my other styles (games, anime, acc, spi)
Now, wouldn't it be easier if we could have one variable that adds a stylename-prefix to all images we want?
It'd look like this, in the templates:
<img src="{imagesfolder}/{styleprefix}_top1.jpg">
Would something like that be an idea?
I for one would like it. I've been adding ffo_ and acc_ and all that to a lot of image locations in my styles (the go-button or the on/off indicators for newposts in forums, etc. etc. etc.).
Anyway, your comments pls. :)
