Thanks for all the reply. I was actually reviewing a theme that used the theme specific login page logo image so wanted<br>to have other reviewers' opinion on this.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 23, 2012 at 11:49 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:theme-reviewers-request@lists.wordpress.org" target="_blank">theme-reviewers-request@lists.wordpress.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Are themes submitted at WordPress repo allowed to use theme specific image<br>
instead of WordPress image in the WordPress Login page?<br>
And if they are allowed, should they be optional and should they support<br>
the user defined images?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

If enabled by default, it'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't involve presentation of user content. It is a bit<br>
of a "boundary" between the front-end and the back-end, but IMHO it falls<br>
squarely *outside* the scope of presentation of user content. As such, I<br>
don't think Themes should be altering the login screen.<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't see any good reason<br>
for a Theme to define its *own* logo for the login screen.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<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't really have a problem with a theme styling the front end, the<br>
login/registration pages, and even the back end. I'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>
