Version 2.5.0 for Joomla 2.5x - Based on DOM Scripting.
You can float in ANY other module from the left browser edge to the right as far as you wish... See it in action: visit www.r3d.de.

Instructions:

Please follow all steps below - get it working first - and then start playing with the settings and positions ;).
Open this readme.html in a separate browser window for convenience.
  1. Install the module using the Joomla Extension Manager.

    <positions>
     ...
     <position>floatercontent</position>
     <position>floatercontainer</position>
    </positions>
  3. Place the floatercontainer position inside your template at the end (right before the body end tag)
    of your /templates/my-template-in-use/index.php, using the following code: 
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="floatercontainer" style="xhtml" />
  4. Now we need to go back to the Joomla Backend. Go to Extensions -> Module Manager and create a new module of your choice at the 'floatercontent' position.

  5. Now open the R3D Floater module and edit to the following lines:
