Reglo

Reglo is a versatile on-screen ruler that is perfect for designers, artists, webmasters, and anyone else who needs to handle graphics. In addition to supporting many different units of measurement, orientations, and ruler scales, Reglo has a wealth of handy features to make your job a lot easier.

Pinpoint accuracy is one of the reasons that Reglo is so useful. Reglo features a ruler guide, a magnifier, and one-keystroke positioning to the exact spot where the cursor is sitting. The image that is displayed in the magnifier can be copied to the clipboard for quick icon and graphics captures. Reglo also includes a color picker that enables you to look up and copy the color of any pixel on the desktop. Colors can also be displayed in a variety of commonly used formats.

With Reglo, you can make sure that your design fits where it should. The window-sizing tool allows you to change the size of other application windows so you can see how they will look on different screen resolutions, without having to switch to them.

Reglo can display the position, distance, angle, and color of the pixel under the mouse pointer. Position and distance values are shown in the selected unit of measurement and can simultaneously be translated to pixels.

On top of all that, Reglo puts an icon in the taskbar status area that can be used to show or hide the ruler at any time. This means that Reglo takes up very little space on your desktop when you're not using it, but it's still ready to use the instant you need it.

You will wonder how you worked without Reglo for so long.
