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.
I noticed it was not just for the vertical mode but for both. I am on Kubuntu linux, Opera 9.01.
More in detail:
1. Open the widget (it's in horizontal mode) 2. Click and drag the ruler to the right 3. The measure-line will now stay in the same position relative the background desktop and not move along with the ruler. 4. When I stop dragging the ruler the measure-line is no not asynced with the mouse with the equal length that I dragged the ruler.
( I tried it on a Fedora Core 2 machine also with the same result. )
@ Cygnus: Can you describe it bit more? How many pixels this difference is? Do you have standard cursors, or you using some kind of "fancy" cursor pack? What OS you have?
Actually I had use for this today (instead of launching gimp and measure from there). But there seem to be a problem when you move the ruler vertically in vertical mode as the "measure-line" will no longer by synced with the mouse pointer.
@ basti2015, BtEO: It is rather difficult to develop anything without simple ruler. You just have to know how many pixels you need to fit text or picture in for example, table or inside your widget.
