Hi unfortunately you right

When I run "directly" widget - I can change color.
While I download it from website - I can't.
Fix will comming. I hope soon!

@ Cygnus - thanks for details. I've run it on Linux - yes - have the same. I'll try to find out what's wrong.

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. )

Hi,

@ 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.

Thanks guys.
Glad you like my widget.

@ 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.
