What do you mean by "switched" ?
Do you want other buttons than the standard buttons? Or do you mean something else?

Ah, ok.

Well, you'll have to upload the new images to your imagedirectory wich is:
yourforum.url/images/yourstylename/statusicon/
Rename your pictures to
- forum_new.gif for forum with new posts
- forum_old.gif for forum without new posts
- forum_new_lock.gif for closed forums with new posts in subforums
- forum_old_lock.gif for closed forums without new posts in subforums
Replace the existing gif files.

There may be other statusicons, but i guess you can figure that out for yourself ;)
