Hi Stefan

I have downloaded and installed the developers version namely

custom-login-page.zip it’s the option just above the latest version 1.6

Now when I installed the plugin and configured it, and it worked a dream. I noticed the login container area transparent allowing the background image to come through Great!! 10 out of 10. Mind you this happened with out setting any transparent values in the Login Container area or Login Form area.

Now I also configured my background image and associated properties including the background size to cover. and yes Great!! the background image automatically resizes. Super 10 out of 10.

Now I noticed that there was no border around the login Form area so I procceded to set the following properties of the Login Form area

Border Style:
Border Width:
Border Colour:
Rounded Corners:
Shadow x-direction
Shadow y-direction
Shadow Softness:

Now haven given values to the above properties and clicked save and previewed the login screen. The settings did not come into affect. I was quite miffed at this. However I Reset all the properties for Login Form area and set the same properties for The Login Container area. and bingo they worked perfectly.

I would ideally like the Login Form Properties to work as above. As I want only to add a border around the login Form Area not the Login Container area. I can’t understand why the Login Form Properties won’t work.

But you almost have the perfect Login Plugin from my experience. With great simplicity and control.

Any help on the above much appreciated Stefan

Kind Regards

Hi Stefan

Does this extra field allow auto resizing of the background image? Another words when you adjust the size of your browser the background image automatically resizes to fill the full browser area.

The follow link I have given to you before illustrates this action.

Now all the above is a simple bit of html and css it’s not difficult to implement in a static web page.

In your plugin in the settings area you could have an option as such: Allow Autosizing of Background Image. and the user would tick a tick box it would be that simple from the users end.

Hi Stefan

Now a good example of this is the Custom Login Plugin. Frosty Does this very well. But essentially you are correct in your understanding the Login form area you would make transparent, leaving the userid, password fields and login button 100% visible. Another words you can see the underlying background image through the login form area. I am sure the above can be acomplished through creative css. but not impossible. Perhaps as far as the A5 Custom Login Plugin is concerned in it’s current version to upload a transparent image in the login area might have the same effect. I don’t know the dimensions of the login form area 🙂 any help here would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
