Balthaser:FX?

[Laura Hamilton]

Has anyone ever used Balthaser:FX?


I just got the Flash Kit newsletter and was piqued by a description of this

"Online Design System", so I checked it out. It seems like it would be a

great tool, but all the sites that I looked at in the gallery were slow to

load, clumsy, and not very usable. Slick-looking, but frustrating to use,

even more so than the majority of Flash sites.


That includes the Balthaser site itself

(http://www.balthaser.com/fx/builder/fx_boot.asp), where I couldn't read

half the text because it was too dark. Or some of the gallery sites, where I

clicked on links that took half a minute to actually connect to anything,

and then only to another loading screen.


But that was just the promotional website. Has anyone used the actual

Balthasar:FX tool? What do you think of it? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
