Good on-screen ruler application for Windows?



What's a good (preferably free) on-screen ruler for Windows? I just need to measure a few things in pixels on the screen. I need it to be flexible (easily resizable and able to measure both vertically and horizontally), and hopefully not look like crap. A quick Google search revealed a ton of different applications, and I don't want to try every single one.



Answer



I have been using Ruler from Codeplex for ages now (I removed the old link because it was considered harmful by Chrome). Very easy to use, a simple program with simple options:



  • Always on top

  • The vertical and horizontal measurement

  • Option to show ToolTip for smaller dimensions.

  • Resizable by dragging

  • Can open multiple instances

  • No installation required
