What is Window Ruler?

Window Ruler

Window Ruler is a handy tool that helps you measure things on your screen with precision. It's great for when you're designing programs or web pages because it shows everything in pixels, which is how your screen is set up. This makes it way easier to position and measure different elements right from your desktop.

How Does It Work?

When you run the Window Ruler application, it places a ruler right on your desktop. Think of it as a movable box that you can drag around to get accurate measurements. It has rulers on both the horizontal and vertical sides, so you can see exactly how big things are. If you're not using it, just minimize it to the tray area, but keep in mind there isn't a hotkey command to pull it back quickly.

Customization Options

You can easily move this measuring box around and even stretch its borders. You can choose to leave just one ruler or stretch it across your whole screen! Plus, there are some preset sizes you can use straight from the tray or through the context menu of the ruler. However, there's no option to add custom values for quick resizing.

Measuring Units

The cool thing about Window Ruler is that by default, it shows measurements in pixels. But if you want some variety, you can change the scale mode to points, inches, centimeters, or even millimeters! You can also make the ruler transparent and set it up to start automatically when Windows boots up—perfect if this is your main tool!

Screenshots Made Easy

A nice feature is that Window Ruler lets you capture whatever's inside its box! The image goes straight to your clipboard so you can use it later. Just remember though, there's no quick key combo for taking these screenshots or saving them directly as files.

The Bottom Line

In short, Window Ruler is a practical tool for measuring stuff on your desktop. You can set it up for both axes and stretch it however much you need. With options to change measurement units and grab screenshots easily, it's definitely worth having if you're looking for a straightforward measuring utility!

If you're ready to give Window Ruler a try, it's just a click away!
