I've given up trying to find the mythical documentation of CB that's supposed to be available to professional members.

I'd like to find clear instructions on how to customize the artwork/banner on the CB login form. The default installation has the banner of a mountain sunset and some generic text. I presume it's easy to customize this, but I can't find any information on how to do it.

From your follow-up sentence, I am assuming that you are using CB 2.0+.
Please download the CB Primer Book from here:

I believe the CB Primer Book describes this somewhere and there might even be a video (sorry cannot remember) that shows you:

Thank you for the link to the documentation download. There doesn't seem to be any easy, obvious way to find it anywhere on the site.

The documentation does not address how to make any changes to the registration form. It references it on page 15, saying that the "Join Us" message, etc. and the splash image can be changed with parameter settings, but there's no information about how or where to do that, and of course, there's no such thing as "parameter setttings" anywhere in the actual back-end.

Basically, it says I can change the things I want to change, but doesn't give any information on how to do it.

Agree - one of the many things that will be addressed on our new website.

Guess you were too quick and did not really go through to the end.

Please see Chapter 11.

The parameter you are looking for is in the CB Configuration -> Registration tab.

It is the Registration Title Image parameter.
