    Those that knew were sworn to secrecy. Ramsey, you've broken the covenant, prepare to face the consequences.

    As an aside (completely tangental to anything) I'm fine with those template enhancements/fixes David.

I think that the css for the login page might be better handled in the application itself because if you customize the skin framework, you have to immediately fix the hardcoded variable in the WOD telling the login page which framework to load to find the css for the login page. While it is not a big deal once you know what is going on, my intention is to make the "out of the box" experience of creating a project as seamless as possible. I also think that it is quite conceivable that someone may want to customize the branding on the login page without wanting to change the skin entirely. I'm would love to send the template on to you for feedback before having it committed, but the current template is broken and needs to be fixed.
