Based on various feedback in this thread, significant changes to the display scaling behavior and ruler calibration are planned for the next version. There is a pre-release version available for testing. Please refer to https://github.com/Bluegrams/ScreenRuler/issues/52 for more information. Feel free to give feedback if there are any issues with that version.

Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in Screen Ruler. Please keep in mind that this tool is developed as a free-to-use, open-source application mostly by a single person. Therefore, I can't give any guarantees on software quality or updates. Best regards, Alex
Hi, Thanks for this suggestion. I will look into adding the option to configure keyboard shortcuts in an upcoming version. Regards, Alex
Hi, This program does not have to be uninstalled as it does not install anything on your PC. Screen Ruler runs fully portable from the folder it is located in.

Hi! Glad you find Screen Ruler useful. The tooltip can be disabled in the settings: Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous and uncheck Show Tool Tip. Alex
Hi again, there now is a basic implementation of the feature you requested in v.0.9 of Screen Ruler. You can start the app with screenruler.exe --hwnd 12345 to start the ruler positioned around the window with the given handle. Alternatively, matching via the window title is possible (screenruler.exe --title "Title"). Hope this helps!
Hi, it's been quite a while, but your feature request has found its way to v.0.9 of Screen Ruler that has support for horizontal and vertical flipping (using F and Shift+F via keyboard shortcuts). Hope this helps!

Hi, usually, settings should be saved automatically, so this might be a bug. All settings are usually saved in a portable.config file in the app folder. Could you check if this file is created and non-empty? Alex
Hi, thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the delayed answer. What you describe makes sense to me, so I I'll try to consider this with a coming feature update. Regards Alex
Hi and sorry for the late answer, A) This should be possible via Right Click -> "Stay on Top" or by pressing S when the ruler is focused. B) The settings in Advanced -> Control are for resizing the ruler either via the mouse wheel (Shift + mouse wheel) or the keyboard (Ctrl + Shift + arrow keys). Are those the settings you're referring to? C) That should happen automatically usually, so this might be a bug. Assuming you're using the portable version here from SourceForge, the settings should be saved...
New Features in Vividl v.0.5.0
Hi, Thanks for your feedback, glad you find Screen Ruler useful! Your suggestion definitely sounds plausible. I'll try to implement it for the next release. Alex
You can dismiss the update reminder starting with version v.0.8.1.
Screen Ruler Updated to v.0.8.1
Hello Hermann, thanks for your suggestions. adding new scales should be possible (ScreenRuler supports pixels, centimeters, points, inches and percent at the moment). I'm however not familiar with mV or ps. Could you add some pointers so I can implement them? angle measurement and rotation are requested frequently. They are not easy to add with the current implementation. I'll see what I can do about this but this is unlikely to be added soon. always on top is possible either via the context menu...
Thanks for your feedback and glad that you like this app! I love the tool, but admittedly I too have trouble calibrating. Not a big thing though, I can do it all relative. Agree that there is still room for improvement regarding display scaling and high-dpi support. I'll look into this again some time soon. Would it not be possible to make it turn around one of its corners as well so that you can put the ruler under an angle? This has been requested a couple of times already. Sadly I think it is...

Support for specific websites and issues with extracting videos most likely are related to youtube-dl which is used as download engine for Vividl. So I'll probably not be able to solve your issue here. However, I can have a closer look and see if this is a known issue/ request to youtube-dl. Do you have a specific example of a video from the NYT website that you would want to download? Alex
The current version of Colora does not provide the possibility to sample a color from the screen by clicking on the desired position with the mouse. There are currently these options to sample a color: - use the system-wide keyboard shortcut: this is Ctrl+Alt+C by default but you can configure it in the settings. Your current settings is displayed in the status bar when starting to sample. - press Enter as long as the Color window is activated Is one of these options not working for you? However,...
Thanks for adding details. I can confirm that there was an issue with the update process not removing the previous version of the app. To fix it, please first remove all installations manually and reinstall the latest version afterwards. There is some more discussion on this on GitHub.
Bug Fixes and Translations
Thank you very much for your efforts! Please provide the non-binary *.resx files so I can add your translation to the ruler. Ideally, you could directly contribute them to the source code on GitHub where this tool is developed, but you can also upload them here if you wish.
There are two likely causes for this: 1. Another program uses the same global shortcut. In this case, try to set a different global hot key from the options. 2. There are two running instances or installations of PinWin. Please check this in your Task Manager or in the list of installed software. In this case, remove the duplicate installation/ running instance. Regarding the second cause, there is a related open issue: https://github.com/Bluegrams/PinWin/issues/4.
Measure in Both Dimensions - Version 0.6
PinWin Updated to v.0.2
The value set in the "Calibrate Ruler" dialog only applies to the preview panel and does not change the unit used on the actual ruler. The actual ruler scale can be changed via the context menu or via the settings window. Alex
There already is another thread for this request https://sourceforge.net/p/screenruler/discussion/general/thread/888c8b14b1/. However, this feature probably will not be implemented in the short term.
You're right, with the current implementation, this feature would need some fundamental changes to be made to the app. So this probably won't come any time soon. (In any case, your Phiddle tool probably would be a much better fit for measuring non-straight distances. :)
Sorry for this currently empty help section. Unfortunately, the DPI and screen scaling settings of the ruler currently only apply to the screen-independent units (inches, centimeters...), so adjusting these settings has no effects on measuring pixels. The measured pixels are always the pixels scaled with the screen. I'm working on improving the tool for screen scaling and high-dpi monitors.

There is S for pinning the ruler on top of the screen and there is Ctrl+M to minimize it. Is this what you were looking for?
