This is one of the best modules I've seen ... solves one of the most common limitations of Joomla (the customization of modules).
It is difficult to use or understand, but when is quickly understood the potential of this module.
Congratulations to the designers, is one of the best modules I've purchased and I'm glad I purchased the lifetime subscription.

I was having a nightmare of a time pulling my hair out while trying to figure out a way to customise the modules on my template.
I don't know CSS unfortunately and even if I did it appears changing one module spot would change all. Thankfully I found this module which does what I want straight from the box - and it works!
Obviously you still have to know some CSS to get the exact effects you want, but this has a few basic features that come with it.
The best thing is that unlike many extensions for Joomla these days, this one is sensibly priced which makes it affordable.
Thanks :)

I just bought the module and must say it is something that should have been available Loooooong time ago. Some documentation would be nice.
I am no CSS fundi, so some basic instructions will be great !
Excellent work guys !

Hello. Documentation is now available and can be downloaded from http://oasissolutions.co.in/downloads/joomla/Pretty-Modules/Pretty-Modules-Documentation/
Giving the rating based on the idea and his non commercial extension. With so many templates using override systems this makes it simple for technically challenged to further personalize sites.
Shocked its taken so long for somebody to identify the need. Wish you Smooth Sailing on your development plans!
