The very first thing you should do after installing the program is to calibrate the tool to work with your screens. Here is a quick guided tour:

Yes, after a long day of testing the new version of Screen Ruler is now available for download. All Windows users: please, upgrade to get some broken shortcuts fixed. Also — there is one new feature added (go to “View” menu and look for “Bottom-Left Labels” item. This will put the ruler width/height at the bottom-right corner so you can hide all other readings (including the info panel) and work with clean rectangle (feature added on user request).

A question arrived today on how to install Screen Ruler. I never realized that such info could be useful in some cases, but now I wrote 2 step-by-step guides on this and they are available in the help pages for Screen Ruler Professional:

Installing Screen Ruler on Windows Computer

Could be silly, but just a week after the initial launch of Screen Ruler 5.0 the first update is now online. I found few small issues (like forgotten titles for some windows) and couldn’t resist the temption to fix them. So, if you want you can go and re-download the program:

MS Windows XP, Vista, 7 (4.9MB; 32bit):

Mac OS X 10.5+ / Intel (13.6MB; 64bit):

Yes! 4 months later, the new version of Screen Ruler is ready and published. A lot of good news (download and try in order to see all the changes) and one not-so-good piece of news (it looks like it is not free anymore)… Here is the download page: /screen-ruler-pro/

As some of you may know, I am working hardly on the next version of Screen Ruler. Basically, I am rewriting the whole tool from scratch. It will be easier to say what’s not new in this new version (all the good things from the old one) instead of saying what’s new. However, someone asked today for a screenshot.

However, this screenshot is just the current development version, as it looks right now on my computer, not an “official” screenshot. Please, don’t ask where the download is, it is still in early tests here and I will never release the program before I am sure it works as expected.

I hope this next revision will become available before the end of the month. So, if you are Screen Ruler user — Don’t forget to click “check for updates” button from time to time…

Here is it, still working only on my computer, but soon — everywhere:

OK, I just posted the first “frequently asked question” about screen ruler tool and windows 7 / Vista (how to remove  the ugly border around the ruler) which should be a good beginning for the questions & answers section for this tool… (Read it here)

The new version of screen ruler is now available for download. The only new feature is the ability to manually set ruler position (left,top), width and height. This feature,  added after user request, should be useful when you need to set the exact size/position of the ruler for some specific measurements…

Yes, the new version of screen ruler has been published with important customization options added and with every new version this toy becomes better, in my opinion. There are a lot of feature requests in the forum, so there will be future development, but I have to work on the other tools too, so (as usually) I cannot say when the next revision will become available…
