Hello,

Are you looking to add IE8 support, as SVG and background image size are not supported?

It would be good to have some fallbacks for the older browsers.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement one, so had to use 'gulp-svg2png' to convert the files to PNGs. In fact upon doing this I noticed another issue that 2 or 3 of the images where missing the xml line from the top of the file, which caused the conversion to crash. Might be something you want to update the images with too.

Thanks

no sorry.. I won't be doing it.. there are some PRs if you want to use, but this project is not going to support anything else than SVGs..

No problem. I'll put it on my one day list and fork it. What do you mean by PRs?
