It can work on dual monitors in windows 7 if you hit "shift + window's key + left arrow or right arrow"

Would be great if it worked on a dual-monitor setup.

Great Widget... very useful to determine the dimensions of flash movies that should be visible even with all the toolbars people add to Internet Explorer... if you know what I mean! Thanks... and I'm agreed with alicroche... Best ruler so far!

Any chance this will be updated to work with 9.5? I'm already missing it ... :frown:

Nice tool! Thanks! :up:
I would like to see couple small improvements:
  • Add option to show/hide secondary unit (inch/cm)
  • Add option to make main widget window semitransparent (only when not in preferences mode)
