Data URIs
@thekirbylover, want to make it so instead of using images, it uses date uri's? just use this site and paste the data uri in place of the image. browsers that don't support data uri's are old, but you could keep the image as a backup. newer browsers will notice the data uri and use it instead of sending another request to the server for the image, while older browsers (even before IE 6) will see the data uri, not know how to parse it and use the image instead. ex: to background: #C5CCD4 url(/wiki/images/d/d6/Pinstripes_loop.png) top left repeat !important; background: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAcAAAABCAIAAACdaSOZAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAACxIAAAsSAdLdfvwAAAAadEVYdFNvZnR3YXJlAFBhaW50Lk5FVCB2My41LjEwMPRyoQAAABRJREFUGFdjOHrmChK6dPrSDSACALh0EOJgMOPvAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); } --Cole Johnson 21:47, 8 January 2012 (MST)
 * 1) content{background:#C5CCD4 url(/wiki/images/d/d6/Pinstripes_loop.png) top left repeat !important;}
 * 1) content{
 * I noticed the default vector css does this too, so I'll do it. the  kirby  lover  22:41, 8 January 2012 (MST)

New User icon
See that icon next to your user name? See the white around it? You can fix that with this: background: url(//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/System-users.svg/16px-System-users.svg.png) left top no-repeat; background: url(data:image/png;base64,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) left top no-repeat; } data URI necessary as the main CSS for vector uses it also, so to override it on newer browsers (explained above), we need it
 * 1) pt-userpage, #pt-anonuserpage, #pt-login {

 * I'll be changing it to a different icon anyway, just trying to think which one. the  kirby  lover  22:41, 8 January 2012 (MST)
 * I personally like System-users from the Tango icon set. --5urd 22:49, 8 January 2012 (MST)

Update
Can an admin please update the css to my latest, but keep Dialexio's changes? Use the show changes button if you need to. the kirby  lover  22:41, 8 January 2012 (MST)
 * Could you tell us what is new? If I was an admin, I could do it by just pasting and deleting the old ones that are in yours while retaining the ones that are on it but not on yours. Ask geohot for admin privileges. --5urd 22:50, 8 January 2012 (MST)
 * I made the .firstHeading use the iOS titlebar style and I fixed some positioning issues. I've still got some fixes for the background (as I mentioned to Britta at The iPhone Wiki:Community portal), and the css3 switches to come. the  kirby  lover  22:58, 8 January 2012 (MST)
 * I tried my best to merge the two stylesheets. However, I did remove the .firstHeading CSS since it didn't look as great on non-WebKit browsers. -- Dialexio 14:13, 9 January 2012 (MST)
