1) Images can be scaled.
:
img {
width: 100%;
height: auto

That’s the CSS you need. Put the image in a container element now and it will scale to fit it no matter the width.
2) Modern buttons don’t need to be images any more, we can style them with pure CSS. Which scales infinitely. And even if we want to stick an image on a button, point #1 still holds true.

There are certain elements of the vBulletin backend system that need to be in the skin templates. And there are an estimated few hundred templates to build up from scratch. Some for the tiniest things such as a single image or button. All those templates are linked and referenced in other templates and it's an absolute bitch to puzzle all those things together.
