- Download the ThickBox Module here.
- Install it (copy it in /sites/default/modueles - for Drupal 5.x)
- Activate it (Go to Administer>>moduels>> check thick box and click save configuration)
- Go to ThickBox Administration (Can be found in Administer page under site configuration Administer>>ThickBox)
- Check the box that says "Enable for login links" then hit Save Configuration
- Make your login box invisible from Blocks (Adminster>>Blocks)
- Make a link in any menu (primary links preferred if shown) called Login or with any other relevant title give the link URL as /user and save it. (remember to log out)
- Now when you click the login link (after logging out that is) you'll get an output similar to above screenshot. COOL!!!, you did it.
