You all know this page.. Is there ANY way to customize this page somehow?

  1. I thought using an iframe and custom the HTML but Google won't let me embed their websites..

  2. I thought using a Google Site and inserting a login gadget but there is no login gadget.

What I want is a custom page where my clients can login to their gmail, drive....

What I want it's not impossible, this guys http://www.cloudcodes.com/custom-login-page.html offers you the possibility to custom the login page and even redirect you to another page after you've logged in.

Directly editing the native login page at accounts.google.com is not possible.

However, for Google Apps accounts, you have the option to set up the Single Sign On service, which allows you to authenticate through a third party provider (Or yourself, if you have the ability). What GControl are offering is this service, although they've labeled it misleadingly, to make you believe your actually editing the login page, rather than redirecting your users to a secure login.

They do it very well though, leveraging the Google Apps APIs to allow you to write and setup the service in their own console.

Source: I installed the service and tried their free trial, and they simply used the APIs to enable SSO on my domain. SSO Turned on

Edit for clarity: SSO setup is not available for consumer Gmail.com accounts.
