I am not talking about the initial signup form. I am talking about the button that is on each page. Where do I adjust the size? I use the themes "overlay" and "Formfactor", but I don't think the answer is specifically in the theme file.

Moving this to Themes
Is there a login button on every page in Overlay and Formfactor? It's a long time since we have been asked for help with the older themes.
Generally there are links in the page header and page footer but these are only links and not buttons like this for example: Login
However to make the login text bigger all you need to do is add the following to the Custom CSS box in the relevant themes.
.headermenu .login > a, .logininfo > a { font-size: 14px }
I think that should work.
I need to check this on the version of Moodle you are using as I may be missing some information regarding the 'button'
Thanks

How would I make that button?
Hi,
It is easier to do in themes that are built using Bootstrap, as the new Moodle Themes use, like Clean and More using...
<a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Login</a>
Which will produce this...
More info http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-dropdowns
However you can do something similar in the older themes using the HTML <button></button> tag like so...
<a href="#"><button>Login</button></a>
Hope this helps?
Mary
Which page in themes do I locate the code?

OK, it's not going as smoothly as I thought. I am using the theme called "overlay".
Here is what I have done:
Language pack>moodle>core>login
<p><a href="http://www.(my site).com/login/index.php" class='button'>Login / Sign Up</a></p>
Language pack>moodle>core>logout
<p><a href=http://www.(my site).com/login/logout.php?sesskey=(my key) class='button'>Log Out</a></p>
Theme>Custom CSS

**********************************************************
Here are the glitches:
1) On the login/index.php page, there was a section of the left where established people signed in, and a place on the right where new people create an account. On the left, the button they click to sign in has been altered and is not what I created, and the button I did create is above the username/password boxes, where nothing was there before.
2) The Log In and Log Out buttons are no longer on the line that they were on, but now they are one line below. For example, in the header, it used to say "you are not logged in" and it had the button next to it, and now the new button is one line below.
3) I cannot get rid of those parentheses around the login and log out buttons.
Here is the first screen shot, and I will have to send the next screen shot below, as the system says I can attach only one file.

Sorry Wendi,
I should have asked you earlier which theme you are using. Now I know it is Overlay I can tell you how to add a Login button in the menu, and it is NOT by changing Moodle core Login/Logout files,
Attached to this comment is a zip file containing the following.
overlay / layout / frontpage.php
overlay / layout / general.php
overlay / config.php
overlay / renderers.php
The renderers.php is a new file that adds the login to the main menu.
The other files have been changed so these need to replace your current Overlay files with the same names.
So please make a copy of your Overlay theme first before replacing your old files with the new ones.
If you don't like the Login in the menu then you can always replace the new with your old files.
Cheers
Mary
Thank you, Mary! I was wondering if we simply knew how to remove the parentheses? The code you gave me is great, but it alters the look and layout a bit, and the old layout worked better in my case. I will sift through the code to look for differences in hopes of finding the way to remove those parentheses. If you know where to look, that would save me some time.
