It would appear that I just ASSumed that the themed login and registration form plugin would work on WP2.0.1, which is unfortunate because it didn’t. Luckily a user of 2.0.1 informed me of this oversight which has now been corrected.
More importantly, Eliyahu from Tsiyon Heights Messianic Radio thought it might be kind of cool to add in the ability to change the default WordPress registration email that goes to users. So that’s what we did.
You can now (through the same options form) alter the email that goes out to new registrations, as well as the subject line, and even the email address that the new user registration email comes from. I’ve added instructions inside the form on how to include the dynamic information. Let me know if it needs to be cleared up, it was late when I wrote it.
Another thing that can be changed, but most likely won’t be, is the notification email that comes to you when a new user signs up. I’ve kept mine the same, but it might be kind of nice for those of you who may have some kind of automated system set up. One other alteration I made is that the from address on the notification that comes to you will now be the address of the new user, that way you can just reply.
Download the new plugin and read about the changes here.

This was sent to me by Eliyahu be David, who came up with the idea to include email customizations:

Gotta love it, especially that the regular wp registration won’t even give a valid password out if your a bit of a novice.
The only fussy thing I saw was during testing if my cookies had inserted my login details in the open sidebar login, the darn thing would get confused . . . but that was just a thing.
Gotta love the customization for the emails and whatnot. I’m having my “kickass noir” them regenerated into a 3 column affair. Please check it out if you’d care to.
I’ll be back soon.

Thank you! I really like this plugin. Can I make a feature request?

Thanks for making this plugin. When I test it, the list items for “home” and “lost your password” appear next to the “username” title in the form, not at the bottom like they do on your demo in the sandbox. I tried it both with and without your suggested CSS, but it always appears to the right of “username.”
Any suggestions for making it appear below the login button?
