No it doesn't. I have the custom hostname in the reseller control panel and enabled with a CNAME. And yes, well-documented. But it also doen'st work, hense the name of the thread. The only control panel UI customization that is extended to the customer login screen is the " Admin title" from the Settings page. The custom header, footer, or CSS is not accessed when you go to the "Admin URL". That was the point of my post, and what was shown on the pics attached to the HTML potion of my last message.
