How big is that thing anyway?
Making sure everything in place, just where it should be.

Implementing FireFox support in SkinStudio and having to calculate
everyting carefully in the process I got pretty tired of being unable
to tell how wide something is or having to run a separate app for it.
Is there one actually? I guess there is... perhaps even skinnable. But
being where I am - I wanted it integrated and easy to use for myself
and for every skiner. available instantaneously. Seamlessly integrated
into Skinstudio. (This will be available in the next SkinStudio
release),
So here's my attempt at counting pixels.
You probably already used Skinstudio zooming tool, and you've noticed that apart from magnifying the screen it also tells you the color of a pixel under the cursor.
now if you press the Ctrl key it will start to measure whatever you have highlighted
As you can see - additionally to the RGB values, now you also have the "Width" and "Height" values. Now, while still having the Ctrl key pressed, let me move the cursor down and right a bit...
as you can see, the Width and Height values show the difference between what was the mouse position when you pressed the "Ctrl" key and what it is now. The size is measured as long as you hol the "Ctrl:" button pressed.
