One of the things I dislike the most when creating the layout for a website is trying to find a good place to put the login/register details. You can never quite find the right spot to put it. However, Jeremie Tisseau from web-kreation.com, has developed a sliding login panel using jQuery which overcomes this problem.

The login/registration panel sits at the top of the screen, only showing a small tab.

When a trigger in the tab is clicked, the hidden portion of the panel slides down over the current screen contents, displaying login and registration fields.

Not only does this function well, it looks great too. Jeremie has also done a tutorial explaining how to integrate his sliding panel into Wordpress.
