I use something like this:

>>lfloat<<
(:if ! auth edit:)%color:#eeeeef%[[{*$FullName}?action=login|admin]]%%
(:else:)[[{*$FullName}?action=logout|logout]]

In this case the color matched the background. Or you could use a
discret grey: %color:#999% for instance

It is a lot easier for some clients to remember that there is a login
link to click, than to remember what exactly to type into the browser
url address bar.
