I really like the concept of them and your theme pages seems to be a great use for them but all over on all pages is too much. my 2 cents. I found the snap thumbnails very annoying on Matts site.

This is a ZIP file) or allows you to play/unzip/save the file accordingly. As far as the rendering of wordpress themes slowly... We have updated the script to automatically crawl/capture urls associated with the site & url entered when you sign up to get the script. In order to make sure we crawl all the proper urls, make sure when you sign up that you enter the url to the specific page you will be using the script (if you are using it on all pages/home page, then proceed as normal on our sign up process). Since you are only using it on your Wordpress Themes page, it may be a good idea to redo your signup with that page specifically so we will def crawl/capture all your Wordpress Themes for previewing.

However, I'm still not game to use it on my site, because of the delay. I noticed this a few days ago and signed up for an account.

I'm not sure how much you'd use it site-wide, though. That’s pretty nifty. I guess it’s another way to do it other than the Theme Browser…
