You can still download version 1 of the Screen Calipers. It's currently the
only version that works on Windows 95, so that's pretty much the only reason
for still keeping it here.
Download Old Version
Version 1 features:
You can change the colours, flip and nudge it around from the keyboard. The
readout gives the absolute pixel distance that you are measuring. It runs on
Windows NT/98/95/2000, and there's no setup, just unzip it, it's only 136K.
There are a couple of bugs in version 1:
BUG: The buttons appear to be half hanging off of the bottom of the Calipers.
FIX: Your system is set to 'Large Fonts'. If you set your system to 'Small
Fonts' the buttons will be correctly aligned. Do this by Right-clicking the
screen, hitting properties and selecting 'Small Fonts' in the drop down box
under the 'Settings' tab.
This problem is fixed in Version 2.0 and higher.
BUG: Typing large numbers in the textbox doesn't work.
FIX: The Calipers recalculate the length every time a key is pressed. If you
click in the textbox with the mouse after each keypress this problem will not
occur.
This problem is fixed in Version 2.0 and higher.
