Changing WP Themes: Will it change the permalinks?

I was thinking of changing WP themes as I am getting a lousy CTR on my adsense ads. If I do this, will it change the permalinks? I am worried about losing the backlinks I have built up as well as whether the links between my pages and the supporting posts would still be live. So, if someone could tell me if that would be a problem, I would appreciate it. Also, if it does affect the permalinks, is there a way to change the links in the new theme so that I don't lose my backlinks?Thanks

    Changing of theme should not affect the URL structure.

    No, it won't, unless you are changing to a theme that has default settings for permalinks.

    As far as I know, 99.9 percent of themes don't have this.

    Nop, but you'll definitely loose how Google sees your site, and how content in structured.

    Example Theme One:

    Site with top menu, then 3 headlines (H2) then content.

    Example Theme Two:

    Site with top menu, then content.

    Makes a HUGE difference SEO wise how your content is funneled, so this is the relevant part... But enough from this weirdoo information, after all people just need to buy some backlinks...

    lol

    I am not worried about how it changes the onpage SEO as I can deal with that. However, losing several hundred pr2-pr5 backlinks becasue of the change would be another story.
    The consensus seems to be that the permalinks will not be changed so as long as that is correct, I can adjust the onpage SEO if necessary.
