DESCRIPTION

Reglo is a versatile on-screen ruler that is perfect for designers, 
artists, webmasters, and anyone else who needs to handle graphics.
In addition to support for many different units of measurement,
orientations, and ruler scales, Reglo has a wealth of handy features
to make your job a lot easier. 

Pinpoint accuracy is one of the reasons that Reglo is so useful.
Reglo features a ruler guide, a magnifier, and one-keystroke
positioning to the exact spot where your cursor is sitting. Also,
the image that is displayed in the magnifier can be copied to the
clipboard for quick icon and graphics captures.

With Reglo, you can also make sure that your design fits where it's
supposed to. The window sizing tool allows you to change the size
of application windows so you can see how they will look on screen
resolutions different than yours, without having to switch to them.

Reglo is also very customizable. You can set the ruler colors and
the values shown in the caption. Reglo can show the current position
of the pointer, the distance from zero to the pointer, and the angle
from zero to the pointer. These values are shown in the selected
unit of measurement and can simultaneously be translated to pixels.

On top of all that, Reglo puts an icon in the system tray that can
be used to show or hide the ruler at any time. This means that Reglo
takes up very little space on your desktop when you're not using it,
but it's still ready to use the instant you need it.

You will wonder how you worked without it for so long.


IMPORTANT NOTE (for first time users)

This application anchors its icon near the clock in the system tray 
which, by default, is located at the bottom right of your desktop. 
You may invoke the application menu by right-clicking on the icon.
