How to change the Post Comments button?

How can I change the post comments button that appears on modules using the system's comments function.

I mean the buttons that allows users to choose between flat, threaded & nested plus the "post comments" button.

I think they look really ugly! I want to delete the 'choose lay out' option (so that users don't get the choice) and I want to have Post Comments as a text link not the present button.

I've tried all morning and can't believe that I can't see how to do it - can anyone help me???

I got as far as seeing that it is controlled by the $commentsnav in module_footer.html template but all I can do there is delete the whole thing (which obviously is no good).

How can I alter its appearance?

Thanks!!

let me be a bit more specific.

in your style sheet add .formButton

Your final result will look like this

.formButton {
background-image: url(images/formbutton.png);
color: #FF9436;
border: 0px;
}

.formButton:hover {
color: #BBB;
border: 0px;
}

Hi Will

Thanks a lot! Where can I get the formbutton image from?

But also the boxes for choosing the display mode (threaded/oldest first etc) are still there.

How can I get rid of them - I can't find the right file anywhere and its killing me!

Yeh! I found the answer to my second question here:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18519&forum=20&post_id=78712#forumpost78712

AmI right in thinking there an image that needs uploading for the button?

Cheers!

Well yeah, if you were graphically inclined you could make a button.

Your button should be blank, the text will be writ onto it.

make/find a button and upload it to your themes image folder.
