The Calipers have a fully 'skinnable' interface. This means that you may swap skins to change the user interface. From aesthetic to technical you should find onscreen solution that suits your needs, we even have a Screen Ruler Skin.

Pictured here are three additional skins that come with the program. The Ruler skin is a great straight-edge to have, the Tall skin is useful for measuring large diagrams and photographs, and the small skin is especially useful for detailed work or for smaller monitors.

If the Calipers won't measure exactly what you need it to then we can may a custom caliper for you.

What do people say about the Screen Calipers?

"This is the type of program I have been waiting for. This thing is very cool with what it does, and it does it well. It is always on top but you can hide it off to the side of the screen. It Looks and works like a real calipers (but this is always accurate). You can change the color so it doesn't disappear with a conflicting background color and it has a micro adjust so you can get accurate measurements with whatever you are attempting to measure. It is quick and easy and it is a MUST with webpage designers."

"I am using a weird vinyl cutting layout program for sign making that for some reason does not offer rulers. Your calipers compensate nicely. The inches x 4 is because I usually work with the layouts on a 25% zoom level."

"I have the screen calipers as my constant friend throughout the day! I'd be sunk without them - they're just too useful."

"Music engraving is the typesetting of music - very much like DTP, but words are far more straightforward than musical notation, which is frankly somewhat of a pain to do on computer. The Calipers help me to standardize the spacing of certain musical notations such as dynamics, articulations, and pedal markings, as well as assist in the even spacing of measures of music across staff systems."

"Your programs are absolutely outstanding. They are a must for every webdesigner."

"This works great with Paintshop pro. I have always had trouble measuring objects using the grids and rulers. This make it much easier."

"Anyone can find uses for this besides just measuring graphics or photos. It would be useful in cheaper CAD programs or when you need a quick check on size of an object. Great for lining things up as well. Many more uses that one could come up with besides the above."

"This has to be the best program I ever downloaded. This is a perfect program to measure items on your html pages as well as other stuff. I use the program to align pictures on my site and to measure blank space on my site to make sure my pages always stay centered like I want them. Every person with a website should have this one. Nothing else like this on the net"

"I had a problem convincing my optometrist about the distance between the center of my nose to each respective pupil. I broke my nose ski jumping some years back. I took a picture of my face, scanned it into the computer, used the caliper to show exact measurement (in units) of my pupil v. nose spacing ... to finally convince my doctor to take accurate measurements."
