    Default How to Make - Home / Log In Links into buttons?

    Hi all my site is coming along great but I rely would like to loose the text links in the header and replace them with buttons nothing fancy and all the buttons could be the same size. Home and Log In look so last year that I want to change the look but not change the functionality. I'm not after fly down menus with categories just a plain graphic or an oval button would be nice.
    I realize that links appear on the header bar but there must be a solution thats not so difficult as changing the database to handle the graphics. Need it to work in IE.
    Anybody out there any ideas please.
    This is the look I'm looking for

    Create your own properly sized images and upload them to your /images folder

    Then in your template's copy of /languages/english/your_template/header.php find the text for them such as:
    Code:
    define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');
    Replace 'Home' with imageto resemble
    Code:
    define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', '<img src="images/your_image.XXX" alt="Your_Alt_Text" />');
    Same for logon & others
    If you need to find the file where the defines for the text is use the developers tools
