Thread: Base64 code in CSS

Base64 code in CSS

Can anyone at AppThemes tell me why there is base64 encrypted code throughout the style sheets of Vantage?

Here is an example

background-image:url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5 vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwM CUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxIDEiINlcnZlQXNwZWN0UmF0aW89 Im5vbmUiPgo8bGluZWFyR3JhZGllbnQgaWQ9Imc5MDYiIGdyYW RpZW50VW5pdHM9InVzZXJTcGFjZU9uVXNlIiB4MT0iMCUiIHkx PdD0iMCIvPjxzdG9wIHN0b3AtY29sb3I9IiMwNTQ4NkYiIG9mZ nNldD0iMSIvPgo8L2xpbmVhckdyYWRpZW50Pgo8cmVjdCB4PSI wIiB5PSIwIiB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiBmaWxsPSJ1c mwoI2c5MDYpIiAvPgo8L3N2Zz4=);

I'm very uncomfortable with having encrypted code in my themes where I have no idea what it is masking.
