Just another simple ruler for your screen or desktop.
Version 0.1.1: Fixes to make widget work smoothly and effectively. Thanks Gautam Chandna ! Version 0.1.2: Press SPACEBAR for easy switch from horizontal to vertical mode and vice versa. Version 0.1.9: Press "c" or click icon for ruler color change Version 0.2.0: Ruler color is saved on exit. Version 0.2.1: Simple Ruler for Linux added. Version 0.2.2: "Left", "Right", "Up" and "Down" keys let you now to move ruler. "Ctrl" + one of above keys let you move position marker. Version 0.2.3: "Shift" key added for faster moving of the widget. Close button added, due to official Opera Widgets Style Guide. Version 0.2.4: Press "L" key for position marker lock. Version 0.2.5: Ruler can be now up to 3300x3300px.
I find that when you drag it to the right you can't read the measurement anymore. I would also like to be able to read how wide my screen is so please move the tooltip over a bit when on the right.
Great widget - is it possible to add an option to keep it on top of all windows? I use it often to make sure things on my web pages are lined up properly between browsers. It's hard to trouble shoot when I keep having to switch between windows to get the ruler on top again.
Hi, I have a problem with this fantastic widget. A ruler is not flexible, I cannot freely drag a ruler and drop it somewhere in a window. :-( Ruler is always fixed in a window. I have Ubuntu 6.10 -the Edgy Eft and Opera 9.10. In MS Windows is Ruler working properly.
Could you enable metric and US measurements? Howabout allowing it to be calibrated by holding a CD (which just about anyone has handy, unlike an actual ruler) to the screen and informing the widget about the width of it?
@ Jadd - can't imagine how this feature could be useful, but no probs. Here you are: press "L" for locking the position marker. Bold font of value of the position marker indicate "lock" status.
This is kool, I used kruler before and loved it, now I have it right there in any operating system supported. But with kruler I was able to open as many instances I wanted, like 2 verticals and 1 horizontal, here I'm stuck to only one, unless there is a name change magic somewhere in there . Help here... Done it again... Just use file->open the config.xml on the extracted zip folder

It's great for handling CSS margins and paddings.
Thanks for such a great idea!

This is the only widget so far I use again and again. This should get a 'very useful award'.
Thanks for adding the lock feature (press L).

"best rating"(5 stars) for web design tools.
This is a simple yet efficient add-on that allows the user
to plot out CSS design of photoshop preliminaries. Well done.

(seems there 2 different position markers - one for horizontal and one for vertical mode ?)
