Modifying Linkbars to use Images

[masterslacker]

These function overrides will allow paid users to change the Entry and Comment linkbars to use image links instead of text links. The code must be placed into an active theme layer.

Please read the comments in green carefully, and only edit text in red. You must specify full urls for your images, or they will not show properly. The current urls are images from the Boxer layout, used as a working example. The key in front of each url says where it is used, and the names should be self-explanitory.

# Set link img urls here. Replace the URLs in red with your own URLs.
