I've been on a site optimization kick the past couple weeks. One of the things that I noticed is vbSlider is using a sprite with the images for the play, pause, etc. buttons which are selected based on the color skin that is selected per instance.

I think a similar feature (changing the skin color of the buttons) could be done without the image file which saves one request and 24kb of download...granted its not much but every little bit helps.

Anyways, if you look at my current slider on my site you'll see what I have done which eliminated the sprite. I am using the "<" and ">" characters for my forward and backwards arrows. (I'm not changing my button color per instance, but it could easily be setup that way as a style variable for slider in much the same was as you are moving the backgroud-position now via css style vars.). Other symbols could be used as well...like this other arrow here. I found a plethora of symbols on this page.
