Not too much, not to little, just right. Allows for custom logo, font and button, and a little extra CSS if needed. Based on the size of your logo you will need to adjust the background position and/or margins of the #login but with a few tweaks it looks great.

The best and most effective plugins are those who are simple, easy to use and do what they promise. This is one of them. I have used it for years in every site I've done. Others that I've tried add too many options that are not needed and thus become complicated. Today's version has it all and it couldn't be easier to create a nice, customized login screen. You can go crazy with your own CSS, but you don't have to. Besides a nice login screen you can add a line that shows at the bottom of the dashboard with your support contact information, so that users have it in front of them when they need it. A very nice touch! Thanks.

Ignore the settings, add custom CSS and go!
