Question

EDIT

Hi,
I have a project where I want to make a mobile web app with Jquery mobile.
The problem I have is that when I am making a button with a custom button icon, I always get the plus icon. My custom icon is a PNG8 icon

This is what I do in my CSS

.ui-icon-myapp-phone { 
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    background-image: url(images/phoneIcon.png);
}

And I call it like this in my html.

<a href="index.html" data-role="button" data-icon="ui-icon-myapp-phone">Contacteer klant via telefoon</a>

You will have to overwrite some more CSS.

I’m doing it like this (using my own iconsprite). Feel free to patch it to your needs:

/* lo-res */
.ui-icon, .ui-icon-searchfield:after {
    background: #666 /*{global-icon-color}*/;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,.4) /*{global-icon-disc}*/;
    /* your sprite URL or single icon URL */
    background-image: url(../images/icons/custom-icons-18-white.png) /*{global-icon-set}*/;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    -moz-border-radius: 9px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 9px;
    border-radius: 9px;
    }

/* hi-res */
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
   only screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
   only screen and (min-resolution: 240dpi) {

   .ui-your-icon-1, .ui-your-icon-2,... {
            background-image: url(../images/icons/custom-icons-36-white.png);
            /* IE-handle hack, serve lo-res */
            #background-image: url(../images/icons/custom-icons-18-white.png);
            /* your lo-res icon size dimenstions! One icon 36x18px, 50 icons 1800x18... */
            -moz-background-size: 1800px 18px;
            -o-background-size: 1800px 18px;
            -webkit-background-size: 1800px 18px;
            background-size: 1800px 18px;
            }
   }

   /* your individual icon background position */
  .ui-your-icon-1   {background-position:       0px -50%;}
  .ui-your-icon-2   {background-position:     -36px -50%;}
  ...
