Custom Login

This post was previously located at http://wpcult.com/custom-login-plugin

I created this plugin, and finally decided to release it to the public! Are you tired of a bland login (wp.login.php) page? Well I was. So I created a simple plugin so any user can install and customize there login/registration page. The plugin has a great settings page to easily modify all colors and styles. Plus there is even an advanced section for hardcore enthusiasts!

New Default Custom Login style

Check it out and download it through the WordPress repository.

    Great plugin!

    I have everything looking quite nice with this. I have a question, does anyone know how to change the background color for the top color bar? It’s the area that spans across the very top of the page where the backtoblog link is placed on the login screen, and I just can’t seem to find what rule is defining that bg color to override it in the custom style area of this plugin. I’ve tried using firebug to determine what that color bar might be and I’m at a loss. Thanks!

      This is a simple one, but fly’s past a lot of people :) . It’s actually a body border..

      So apply this css styling:

      body.login {
    border-top-color: #464646;
}

      Of coarse changing the current color to something else, say red (#ff0000).

    Looking good, changing the login box images was easy but doing the whole page is handy.

    For some reason I am unable to login to the WP admin after installing 0.4.8. It happens once I logout and try to login again.

        I’m unable to replicate your issue. Did you enter any settings?
