-
-
- Reglo is a versatile on-screen ruler that is perfect for designers,
- artists, webmasters, and anyone else who needs to handle graphics.
- In addition to support for many different units of measurement,
- orientations, and ruler scales, Reglo has a wealth of handy features
- to make your job a lot easier.
-
- Pinpoint accuracy is one of the reasons that Reglo is so useful.
- Reglo features a ruler guide, a magnifier, and one-keystroke
- positioning to the exact spot where your cursor is sitting. Also,
- the image that is displayed in the magnifier can be copied to the
- clipboard for quick icon and graphics captures.
-
- With Reglo, you can also make sure that your design fits where it's
- supposed to. The window sizing tool allows you to change the size
- of application windows so you can see how they will look on screen
- resolutions different than yours, without having to switch to them.
-
- Reglo is also very customizable. You can set the ruler colors and
- the values shown in the caption. Reglo can show the current position
- of the pointer, the distance from zero to the pointer, and the angle
- from zero to the pointer. These values are shown in the selected
- unit of measurement and can simultaneously be translated to pixels.
-
- On top of all that, Reglo puts an icon in the system tray that can
- be used to show or hide the ruler at any time. This means that Reglo
- takes up very little space on your desktop when you're not using it,
- but it's still ready to use the instant you need it.
-
- You will wonder how you worked without it for so long.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE (for first time users)
-
- This application anchors its icon near the clock in the system tray
- which, by default, is located at the bottom right of your desktop.
- You may invoke the application menu by right-clicking on the icon.
