How to customise your WordPress login screen

.

change your wordpress login
This is a little tip for your own fun, or a clients added satisfaction.

At the time of writing, the current WordPress version is 2.7.1, to change the logo displayed in your login panel open the file /wp-admin/images/logo-login.gif and replace it with your own logo.

Some older versions used the files login-bkg-tile.gif and login-bkg-bottom.gif, and future versions may change again so you may have to look for these files instead if you are running a different version.

Easy peasy!

Changing the login graphic is a 10 second job that just helps to make your WordPress login panel feel like home.

    Joni,

    I did this myself on wordpress 2.7 as mentioned in the post before upgrading to 2.8, after doing so the login screen remained changed so it would seem so.

What do you think?
