How to Use
Download > Install > Activate. Use your favorite IDE or the WordPress plugin editor > styles-login.css to change the colors and logo. Variables have been set to make the process simpler but you can mix it up and make it your own. By default, the existing colors are for this website’s login page. I’ve include a small image but you can also use a fully qualified domain or swap out the image.
Example
Once activated, your default WordPress login should look like this.

This code consist of multiple files and can not be pasted into the functions.php as is. It’s recommended you download and install the plugin for simple code activation and edit from there.
