This module needs more development before it's ready to be used on most websites. It's buggy, has some pretty bad CSS, does not allow you to apply a module class suffix and in many cases replaces the information you enter in various fields with default/demo information. I uninstalled it because I don't have time to fix all of the quirks and it doesn't work right out of the box.
The developer seems very capable, but he's still got work to do on this one.

This module has many nice features, but it needs some work, especially in the CSS area. For example the placement of the navigation arrows should be relative to the content, not an absolute distance from the top. Also, it would be nice if the height and width parameters could accept % values. Overall, the module is a very good start and I would encourage the developer to continue to improve it.
Owner's reply
Thanks for the feedback umbris :)
I will add the acceptance of % values in the next release. And about the arrows, I feel that this is not a problem, if some other users feel so, I will change that too.
