WP-Client furthers it’s highly customizable platform by allowing you to modify the Login Screen your clients will see when they login to their Hub and Client pages. This gives your site a more professional appearance. You can choose whether or not you want to use this feature, but WP-Client has it enabled by default.
The first and most important of modifying the appearance of the Login Screen is a custom image. This can be your logo or a specific image related to the client experience. We recommend the image be
312px wide and around 600px tall in order to extend the frame of the login box past the fieldset. You can create your image using Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever image editor you are familiar with. Save it in

Media Uploader in WordPress (Media Menu > Add New). After uploading the image, copy the URL path that it saves the file to and paste it into the Background Image URL field of the Custom Login tab window
(See Figure 16)

The next three fields define the colors used in the login screen, namely the background color, text color, and link color. Use the 6-digit hexadecimal color code (without the #) to set the colors for each.
Login/Logout Redirection
Menu: Settings > Login/Logout Redirects tab
This setting allows you to define custom URLs to which different users will be redirected upon successful login and logout. By default, a client is setup with a definition to redirect them to their Hub Page upon successful login. You can change that redirect here
(See Figure 17).
