Using Images instead of tabs

[metallica48423]

Okay, i usually am not the one posting FOR support here, but, here goes anyways

I am creating a theme based off the SMF core theme.  While i do want to use the tabs for the main navigation, for the links like 'notify, mark read, etc', i want to use button images.  These, by default show up with both both mirrortabs and maintab images.

Is there any way to change how those buttons get laid out?  I see in MessageIndex.template.php and Display.template.php where the arrays are defined, but I don't see where its being told to put them in tabs (these ones never get 'active' tab they are single click operations so im assuming its possibly through a function?)

Thanks for any and all help

Not sure but It may help:
in Messege.index.php find:

Code Select Expand

markread' => array('text' => 'mark_read_short', 'image' => 'markread.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=markasread;sa=board;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0;sesc=' . $context['session_id']),

See the:

Code Select Expand

'image' => 'markread.gif'

Replace either the pic or the code.

I think that may work

Dragooon,
That will not work.
the template_button_strip in the index.template.php needs to be modified to handle images.

I did post a modified version long ago but lost it in all my posts

I once created a theme that used images for those things for somebody.
Wasn't allowed to publish it for everybody to download.

Can't remember exactly what I changed, but if you want I'll send you the files so you can take a look at it.
You can see the theme in action on my testforum: http://themes.forumaffiliates.net/index.php
Let me know if you're interested

Also, if you can't figure it out then let me know. Don't have time to look for it again now, but this evening I should have the time

Thanks Harro for the reply

Actually i did a search for a post of SleePy's containing template_button_strip and turned up This Topic

After finding that, i was able to get this to work

Thanks sleepy, dragooon, and harro!
