Do you really mean form (used to submit new comment) or listing of existing comments?– RarstCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:05

@Rarst:listing of existing comments !– GowriCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:07

The wp_list_comments() call accepts a callback argument, in which you can define the specifc comment-list markup that you want. I would suggest taking a look at how TwentyTen handles the wp_list_comments() callback.

You could just take a look at the Codex Page for wp_list_comments which has some example code for customising comment listings.
You will see from that page that you can add a callback function to wp_list_comments which is normally used to customise how comments are listed

1+1 I kinda forgot that it takes callback as well. That might be easier than custom Walker.– RarstCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:38

Twenty Ten uses a comment callback function which might be a good example to start with.– MichaelCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:59

1Updated answer to specifically mention the callback, which was my main reason for suggesting the Codex page.– anuCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 14:03

Up-voted since you edited to mention the callback explicitly (thus making my answer redundant, and yours more thorough). :) Commented Jun 28, 2011 at 14:30
wp_list_comments() uses Walker_Comment class (that extends generic Walker) to generate output.
If you need extensive customization you should extend Walker_Comment with your own class and pass instance of it as walker argument to the function.

@gowri unfortunately nothing about walkers is simple. You need to understand first both mechanics of Walker class in WP (see linked Codex article) and concepts of PHP object inheritance.– RarstCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:36
Comment is Easily Customaziable. for example: code for cancel the reply link
<?php cancel_comment_reply_link(); ?>
if you want custom the Text like Reply means Replace Text...
<?php cancel_comment_reply_link(text); ?>
Text to display as a link. If empty, it will return the default: 'Click here to cancel reply.'it should be work.

Do you think,this can solve my whole problem. because I want change many thinks in comment listing. so any other idea– GowriCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:10

i gave the solution to change your reply link only.not to all.if you want to customize class means you will need to do some more things.... Commented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:13

even I am not talking about canceling the reply. I just want to replace reply by some images.Anyway thanks for the reply– GowriCommented Jun 28, 2011 at 13:16
I'd look at using comment_form();. It will give you a default layout of a comment form but you can pass $args to it to modify each section.
