I've installed Fuel, first time, and I see that the logo and background images are linked via the CSS as base64 strings, rather than a link to an image file.
Why? Is there an advantage, beside obfuscation to those who might steal an image file?
I would much prefer to have my image assets in an assets directory, just for code clarity.
Just as an aside, my code editor chokes on the length of those base64 strings. It reads and displays them, but automatically marks the file as read-only. I can deal with that, but it is an exercise in patience...
The only reason is that the welcome page is an example to get some output from a newly installed repo.
Most people remove the welcome controller and view, we didn't want additional files we could avoid. It has nothing to do with obfuscation or stealing. And once you've deleted them, your editor issue is gone as well.
Harro,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I assumed it was just a demo and am using it as a training tool.
I simply resized the Fuel logo to the appropriate size and edited the css.
