Cool and useful - Version: 2.2, 8/13/2008 02:18AM PST

Rulers does a great job of providing on-screen guides, allowing the insertion of horizontal, vertical and intersection rules. It also gives you Photoshop-style rulers at the top and side of your screen for positioning. A HUD provides mouse coordinates and a magnifying glass, with two minimal views and one that shows all of the data at once.

This app provides screenshot capabilities and it also has an auto-measure tool. This is infinitely useful for quickly determining the pixel size of any on-screen area of which it can discern the edges. When Rulers is in the foreground, pressing Command-K will instantly show cross-hairs and a measurement for the area surrounding the mouse cursor.

Rulers is pretty darn useful, especially for web designers, and it's available for both Mac and Windows.

Indeed, this is one of those "why didn't they think of it sooner" kind of applications. Instead of moving an on-screen ruler to try to measure a space onscreen, you can pull out guides just as you do in a graphics or layout program, which makes alignment much easier.
