Quick Sprites for Android

very nice tool for making CSS sprites.

This app would be okay, but it drains the color on images during output. It's most noticeable when you have images with non-transparent background because the background color won't match the underlying background color on the html element on your webpage, but it drains the foreground image colors as well. This makes the app pretty much useless :(

I've found using this app to be a pleasure, and a time-saver. For the benefit of anyone else using this app, I'm including here some tips I've developed in my own time using it. There are a couple limitations I've encountered: - automatic class names can only contain alphanumeric characters and "-" dash, no underscore - one cannot add space BETWEEN sprites, to guard against inaccurate background drawing (as when a browser is zoomed out) The first issue I've been able to work around by doing two things: - adapting my class/id naming conventions to use only "-" instead of "_" - use Regular Expressions to turn coded filenames into true CSS selectors (e.g. "-i-wrapper--c-icon-c-close-p-hover" becomes "#wrapper .icon.close:hover") I've made a solution for the second issue using the existing "margin" feature with 1px margin on all sprites, and a macro in Vim to shrink the sprites by 1px on each side. Once setting up this workflow, and saving my file, it's a simple matter to export my slices from Photoshop, named as the coded CSS selectors mentioned above, drag them into Quick Sprite, and use the new automatically generated CSS filtered through a few Regular Expressions. Thanks for the great tool, Simone. I look forward to its development.

This is a great app and totally worth the $8.99 I paid. It saves lots of time and has very nifty customizations. The optimizer is also nice - although not the best algorithm available. The only buggy behavior I've noticed is that when adding an image while the sprite is set to repeat x or y - the image overlaps an existing one. Switching repeat to "None" and then adding the image, then switching repeat back to x or y circumvented this symptom. All in all - Great job, author!

Needed it to work this way!
