How-to page.
Dot Ruler
The Dot Ruler skin is similar to our Screen Ruler skin, with one difference;
the controls and readout are placed outside the ruler itself. This has the advantage
the measurement is easier to read as the numbers stay horizontal while the ruler
rotates.
Designer: Iconico
T-Square
Another metamorphosis for the screen Calipers can be made by using the T-Square skin.
Great for aligning large objects and measuring 90 degrees the T-Square is another
handy skin that we'll sure that you'll find useful in different situations.

Milky Neo
MilkyNeo is for Version 3 of the Calipers only, use this pearly white updated
skin for crisp and clear measuring.
Designer: Iconico
Milky
Milky from Iconico is a pearly white and easy to read skin. Monochromatic and
simple.
Designer: Iconico
Screen Ruler
The Screen Calipers skinning engine is flexible enough to turn your Caliper
into a ruler. Use the ruler as a handy straight-edge on your desktop. You
can extend the ruler by dragging the area where the measurement and icon are
displayed. Note that the ruler isn't recommended for small measurements as
it becomes unwieldy; for accurate measurements we recommend you keep with
a standard Calipers skin.

CiNapze

allow you to see through it to the item that you're measuring. Put on some Devo
and try it out.

Classic
If
you've been a fan of the Screen Calipers since verison 1 you might well long
for the original interface that the program shipped with. Version 3 users can
download "classic" and still benefit from all of the version 3 features.
Designer: Iconico
Metal
Similar
to the 'Classic' skin above - if you've been using version 2 of the Calipers
for years and miss the old look and feel, but still want all of the new
features of version 3, then this is the skin for you. Give 'Metal' a download
and you'll be retro-measuring right away.
Designer: Iconico
PhuZe
PhuZe
from Koasati is another neo-functional design. A good alternative to Xeria if
you feel like a change

ThinMeasure
Our
most minimal skin to date. The ThinMeasure skin has dispensed with the buttons
so you'll have to remember those keyboard controls to move the Caliper around.
You can also download "Thin" which is the same skin without the measurement
panel - For the true minimalist, or "ThinMeasureSmall" with bars that don't
extend over the height of the screen.
Designer: Iconico
Lines
The
Lines skin has pointers that extend all the way across your monitor so
measuring and aligning can be even easier.

BeOS themed skin, made entirely in MSPaint just to see if it were possible!

BeMini
If
you thought BeTiny was small then BeMini is almost not there. BeMini is for all
those of you who've memorized the keyboard shortcuts or have super accurate
mouse control.

Concise Offset
If you are a fan of the default skin for version 4 of the Calipers, but want it to
rotate around the point under the bar, and not in the center of the bar then this skin is
for you.
Designer: Iconico
Angular
The
Angular interface is designed in the same style as the program's splash screen.
Designer: Iconico
SkinBase
SkinBase has an innovative look and is also great to use. Skinbase's 'color
lights' are a great feature that I'm sure we'll see being used again by other
designers.
