Custom reCaptcha
Custom reCaptcha is a plugin that gives you control over the look of Google's reCaptcha. It can replace the standard reCaptcha plugin packaged with Joomla! and adds solutions to make any version of the reCaptcha widget responsive.
Introduction
reCaptcha from Google is a 'one-size-fits-all-designs' widget that does not offer many possible styles. Until now it fit my projects but once I started working on responsive templates, the size of the default reCaptcha themes started being in the way, especially for mobile designs.
The purpose of this simple plugin is to give you access to the raw widget (version 1) and allow you to perform your own skinning. Hard core 'stylers' and developers alike, go crazy and make it beautiful. Do not hesitate to show off your designs in the forum.
Version 2 of the Google widget is not skin-nable but the plugin attempts to render it responsive (it may not fully work in some templates).
