login boxes

Are login boxes always simple and plain? Or has anyone done anything bold or decorative with their website's login box?

I don't really see any need to decorate the login box. As long as they're easy to find and it's easy to see what you've typed, you're all set.

i like to use jquery versions. just google "jquery login box" to see some examples.

I'd say that there's a healthy medium between style and functionality. I've always liked the Wordpress login box, as available below:

It's not integrated on a page, rather a page of it's own. I like the modern layout, the text boxes along with the font are really nice.

I like pop-up login box. A "login" link that, when clicked, opens a popup login box.
