the login screen is a template file, you can even set t to iDots, or
any other template that has its own login.tpl, via a little
header.inc.php edit to look like:

it's class, you can jump start a phpgw session without the phpgw gui like this:
$phpgw_info = array();                                                
                                 $GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['flags'] =
array(                                                                
       'noheader' => True,                                            
                                        'nonavbar' => True,           
                                                                      
  'disable_Template_class' => True,                                   
                                   'currentapp' => 'fsasp',           
                                                                   
'nocachecontrol' => True,                                             
                                 'noapi' => True                      
                                                          );
include('/path/to/your/header.inc.php');
$GLOBALS['phpgw']->sessions = createObject('phpgwapi.sessions');
$GLOBALS['sessionid'] =
$GLOBALS['phpgw']->session->create($login,$passwd,'passwd_type');

.12 is almost a whole nother program :)

you could just edit the login.tpl in /phpgwapi/templates/default/. 
but in .18 the themes will be all CSS and it could be possible to do
this with just a theme.
