If enabled by default, it&#39;s likely quite frowned upon. There is no guideline about it specifically, but I believe it also would be frowned upon if it were optional and user-defined only, as that escapes the functionality of a theme.<br>

<br>
Remember that a theme is ideally supposed to modify the display content on the frontend and not mess with the backend much beyond a Theme Options page.<br>

The login screen doesn&#39;t involve presentation of user content. It is a bit<br>
of a &quot;boundary&quot; between the front-end and the back-end, but IMHO it falls<br>

The corollary to that: it would probably be acceptable for the Theme to<br>
define a user-configurable setting, disabled by default, to allow the user<br>
to define a logo to replace the WordPress logo. I don&#39;t see any good reason<br>

If a theme has a logo setting, I could see this being used on the<br>
login/registration pages with no problems.  If you have a theme with a<br>
logo setting already, it makes sense to go ahead and use it on those pages.<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t really have a problem with a theme styling the front end, the<br>
login/registration pages, and even the back end.  I&#39;d actually love to<br>
see a theme that styled the entire WP install rather than just the front<br>
end.  Obviously, such themes would be few and far between, so we could<br>
review them on a case-by-case basis if we needed to.<br>
