Assuming you modded the "x" theme the files would need to go in

/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/

inside the "x" folder there will also be folders called icons and images, not sure which one cpanel gets it log out buttons from but you can right click on the image in your cpanel and see which directory it is. Then upload your own images to there.

Problem is cpanel will overwrite that the next time you run upcp so you either have to chattr +i the x folder or rename the theme to something else and upload it as a new theme with all the files etc to the frontend directory and set your clients to use it.

Thanks for that, my problem now is that I cant find that directory, through either ftp or the file manager on my cpanel, where should I have access to that directory?

You can't use FTP or the file manager in cpanel. You need to use SSH to connect to your server as "root".

And how do I connect to my server using SSH?

download putty and log in your server with it, using your root password.
and a great shell ftp program is FileZilla which uses shell as well (both are competable with your windows desk top)

Well I thought it was over.....

I downloaded Filezilla and I try to login in using SFTP (SSH2) and it will not connect it says

"Response: Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect
Error: Unable to connect!"

Why wont it connect.... is it possible the hosting company (servers) dont support or allow this connection?

Thanks for your help

Why dont you check with your host ?
Sounds like you dont have root access and you dont have a shell account , so as a reseller you can modify your cpanel interface in WHM
