Do you want a Custom WordPress Login Screen?
It is very easy, keep reading.
1. Create a new folder into your theme.
I'll call it custom_login.
Inside the folder create a CSS file. Mine will be custom_login.css
2. Add the line
Add this line to your functions.php file (will be inside your theme folder. If it doesn't exist create it)
NOTE: please notice the custom_login folder and the custom_login.css file in the code.
function custom_login() {
echo '';
}
add_action('login_head', 'custom_login');
3. Styles
Add your styles into the custom_login.css
I used one image (stored in this new folder we just created) and my own logo.
/* Background image */
html {background-image:url(bg.jpg);}
/* Logo Image*/
h1 a {background:url(/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/develop_logo2.png) 0 0 no-repeat;}
/* Top bar background color */
body.login {border-top-color:#fff;}
/* Link effects in top bar */
.login p#backtoblog a:link, .login p#backtoblog a:visited {color:#17272d;}
/* Rollover link effects in top bar */
.login p#backtoblog a:hover, .login p#backtoblog a:active {color:#17272d;text-decoration:none;}
Done!

I found this tutorial that uses FancyBox a couple of days ago. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/quick-tip-making-a-fancy-wordpress-register-form-from-scratch/. the wp-login page is always left out of the design scheme. Thanks for cleaning that up!

The Nettuts tutorial has been sitting on my browser for a couple of days. It is quite a bit of work; I am not quite ready to spend my time on it! Simple is usually the best practice.
