Changing a CSS Button

[absolute-audio]

I am currently using the Contemporary template for my store and am looking to change the Login button down the left hand side navigation menu to an email subscription button.

Am I able to change the text within the box without amending the graphic and also make it clickable to an email subscription link?

Thanks

yes you can with a graphics package and a steady hand.

I am pretty sure the font used is Trebuchet

Where can I edit the LoginText variable? Presumably I can just change the text rather than the graphic and the a href link is easy enough...

Thanks

no you can't. The images are gif thus not layered

BTW its not a css button , its an image

Ok, that's that idea out the window then!

Where can I find the graphic to amend it?

Have found two Login buttons within C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Formats\ButtonSets\Contemporary but am not sure which one to amend?

If the site is live on a url, it be downloaded from there, if not do an offline preview-right click-properties and find it's name.

Hmm, won't let me do it that way for some reason, probably because of the link written into them but anyway...

How can I add a clickable graphic below that particular box then to do what I want to achieve?

I get the impression this is going to be difficult to do...what is the best way to integrate an email subscription icon?!
