Title	If sprites are enabled and the sprite file is missing, the website breaks
Status	Completed
Handling member	Chris Graham

Description	If the sprite files is missing in the theme and use sprites is enabled, then the entire site breaks erroring about the missing file. And trying to use the tool to generate the file also fails to load because the file is missing. IMO, if the option is enabled and the file is missing, it should be auto-generated.

How can it be missing as it's a bundled file? Are you referring to an unlikely scenario of site breakage, or am I missing something?

I think so. It happened when I was undoing theme changes made by the theme wizard.

The issue was the admin theme was pointing to a generated sprite file which was later deleted outside of Composr, leading to a broken theme image reference. Clearing the Theme Images cache fixed that.
However, it shouldn't crash so badly. I added tolerance so the Admin Zone would continue to work in this scenario.
