Style the default Login module

I take great pride in making DNN websites look not-so-much like a DNN website. So here is some really simple CSS that you can put into your DNN skin or portal.css to make the stock Login module a bit nicer to look at:

/* re-style the dnn login */

.LoginPanel {
	width: auto !important;
	float: none !important;
	display: flex !important;
	padding: 0 !important;
	max-width: 100% !important;
	justify-content: center;
}

.LoginPanel > div {
	min-width: 300px;   
	max-width: 500px;
}

/* style the form item wrapper */

.LoginPanel .dnnForm .dnnFormItem {
	display: flex;
	flex-direction: column;
	flex-wrap: wrap;
	margin-bottom: 15px;
}

/* style the form label */

.LoginPanel .dnnFormItem > .dnnLabel {
	margin-top: 0;
}

.LoginPanel .dnnFormItem > .dnnLabel label {
	display: block; 
}

.LoginPanel .dnnLabel {
	display: block;
	float: none;
	position: relative;
	width: auto;
	padding-right: 0;
	margin-right: 0;
	overflow: visible;
	text-align: left;
}

/* boostrap fix - remove the yellow background from the checkbox field */
.dnnCheckbox .mark {
	background: none !important;
}

/* give the Remember Me checkbox a smaller text size */
.dnnLoginRememberMe {
	font-size: 15px;
}

/* style the login panel text input fields */
.LoginPanel .dnnLoginService input[type="text"], 
.LoginPanel .dnnLoginService input[type="password"] {
	width: 100% !important;
	min-width: 100%;
	margin: 0;
	border-radius: 1px;
	padding: 10px;
}

/* hide the empty label beside the Reset Password button */
.LoginPanel .dnnFormItem:last-child span.dnnFormLabel {
	display: none;
}

.LoginPanel ul.dnnActions {
	margin: 0 !important;
	padding: 0 !important;
}

/* primary action buttons - also used in dnn modal popups */

.dnnPrimaryAction, 
.dnnFormItem input[type="submit"], 
a.dnnPrimaryAction {
	background: #015488;
	border: none;
	color: #ffffff;
	text-shadow: none;
	font-weight: 400;
	box-shadow: none;
	border-radius: 1px;
	font-size: 15px;
	padding: 10px 20px;
}
.dnnPrimaryAction:hover, 
.dnnFormItem input[type="submit"]:hover, 
a.dnnPrimaryAction:hover {
	background: #1B6EA2 !important;
	text-decoration: none !important;
}

/* secondary action buttons - also used in dnn modal popups */

.dnnSecondaryAction, 
.dnnFormItem input[type="submit"], 
a.dnnSecondaryAction {
	background: #f5f5f5;
	border: none;
	color: #555;
	text-shadow: none;
	font-weight: 400;
	box-shadow: none;
	border-radius: 1px;
	font-size: 15px;
	padding: 10px 20px;
}
.dnnSecondaryAction:hover, 
.dnnFormItem input[type="submit"]:hover, 
a.dnnSecondaryAction:hover {
	background: #f1f1f1 !important;
	text-decoration: none !important;
}

That's pretty much it. Of course, you can get creative and expand on this (or strip it down to be even simpler). One of the nice advantages to doing this through CSS is you can avoid having to install a 3rd party module for login which saves money on license cost and the headache of needing to upgrade modules. There's even the small added benefit that the .dnnPrimaryAction and .dnnSecondaryAction buttons will get updated so the DNN modal buttons will look a bit better also.

On a more general note, you should never undersestimate small improvements like these. When you work on improving the small things regularly, they add up and eventually you will end up with something that is just more polished. Happy DNN'ing :D
