This plugin is a perfect idea and good for it's money. Now i think this will be much better there are few moew types of variation like black glass. Also i think is better to be for modules and not for components. Now working only for compponents it is kinda messy to see the scroller in the middle of your site. If this could make a grab of the component automatically without using the scroller that will be perfect.
Overall is good for it's money but need futher upgrade and usability. It has great potential

I have tried glassbox version 1.1 - is looks really nice I have to admit, which was the reason why I bought this plugin, but sadly it REQUIRES that you define a fixed value for the width and height of the glassbox frame! And this value is valid for all the glassboxes that you might see on your site.
Because of that it is useless to me, since articles normally vary in the size.
Another drawback is that you can control the usage of the glassbox only on component level. It's not possible to control it by modules or menus.
It's a nice thing if your website only consists of a frontpage with a single article.

Hi,
a control for modules, per component variable sizes are in the works.
But it is still good since you can enable and disable it for certain components. I think the most just don't need it for all their installed components.
Thanks for your review!
