How do you measure distace, or area, within a window on a screen?
Friday, September 6, 2002 by goodmorphing | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
There must be some way of measuring the distance within a window. Or of measuring the size of an object on a screen. I am getting pretty good at guessing, but I think there must be a better way. Is there? Thanks

That's a very handy tool!
Koasati has a couple of skins for it on the site.

My way of measuring windows and objects on a screen is Print Screen and MS Paint.

I like Caliper! And your skins are very nice! I downloaded them. Did you see that one they said was designed by paper and pencil? It made me wonder if anyone has designed a skin using paper and pencil (or colored pencils).
Anyways, thanks a lot... you have helped solve problems and save lots of time for me!

I usually do a screenshot and open it in PhotoShop where you can measure it in pixels or real world measurements.

Thanx GM. 
I know of quite a few skinners who start on paper.
Joe... pixels, inches, centimeters, point, picas, twips, and custom 1, 2, and 3. Is that real world enough?
