Great extension but needs to have the ability to add custom gutters and columns and other settings beyond the default Foundation stylings.

Works Great, needs nested grid though.

Great! Overlays default Foundation grid as expected. Feature request - The lines are amazing, but it would be even better if there was a semi-transparent color overlay depicting the columns. Also, as James Stone said, nested grids would be amazing. Is there a way to customize the gutters and margins?
