This is why I want to leverage Trinidad's skins. CSS is interpreted on the client, but the images are generated on the server. The image URLs have the info in the query string though, so it would be possible to alter them on the client, but then JS would be required and these properties would have to be stored somewhere (some random CSS style class applied to a dummy element or stripped from the IMG tags). A much more elegant solution would be to use Trinidad skin properties to set the colors so that they are not in the view but the skin CSS.
