Edit the "SHOWTHREAD" template
Templates might vary from version to version, so double check.

Modify the CSS accordingly and add this to your "additionalcss" template.

.closed_thread_button {
    background: url("images/buttons/newbtn_middle.png") repeat-x scroll left top #417394;
    position: relative;     
    border: 0 none;
    border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #DDDDDD;
    clear: right;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    font: 14px Arial,sans-serif;
    padding: 4px 15px;
    
    background: red;    
}

.reply_thread_button {
    background: url("images/buttons/newbtn_middle.png") repeat-x scroll left top #417394;
    position: relative;     
    sborder: 0 none;
    sborder-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    sbox-shadow: 0 3px 8px #DDDDDD;
    sclear: right;
    scolor: #FFFFFF;

    sfloat: left;
    sfont: 14px Arial,sans-serif;
    spadding: 4px 15px;
  
    background: blue;    
}

Hope this helps
