Hi,

I was wondering whether this group would be interested in this small
(1.6 MB), free programme used by over 10,000 web designers, graphics
artists and programmers to date.

More Details below.

Thanks in advance.

Description
This program is a semi-transparent on-screen ruler to help you lay out
GUIs and Web pages or measure anything on your screen in 5 units.
Intuitive keyboard shortcuts allow you to precisely position the ruler
anywhere on the screen.

Both fine and gross positioning shortcuts are available. The ruler
may be pinned to any edge of the screen or moved 1 pixel at a time
using the keyboard shortcuts. Measuring is simple - just drag the
ruler to the item you wish to measure and move the cursor to the other
end to measure it. A marker tracks the mouse and the ruler displays
the measurement. Additionally, double clicking the ruler resets the
length of the nearest side.

Transparency can be finely controlled using keyboard shortcuts and the
ruler can be "skeletonized", making everything but the edges and the
markings completely transparent. Units can be set using the mouse
scroll wheel. The ruler can be calibrated in either direction using a
physical ruler. Extensive customization options are available by
Right-clicking.

The colour of the ruler background, edges, ticks and font can be set
individually. The ruler saves its settings upon exit, so it always
looks the way you configured it last. The program installer comes
with a built in uninstaller

There is also a portable version (visit the help pages). It is safe
for work, since it does not modify your computer's registry. The
latest version searches for an update upon start up (if configured to
do so) and gives you the option to download the latest version. The
programme has extensive web help pages at http://sites.google.com/site/rulerhelp/
