✨ NAME ✨

screenruler β€” a graphical ruler to measure objects on screen πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

screenruler

that's it. that's the whole vibe. icon behavior honestly 😌


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ScreenRuler is a simple graphical ruler, right? and what it does is let you measure any object on screen horizontally or vertically, and it's got different metric systems to do it with, which are: pixels, centimetres, inches, picas, points, or as a percentage. like, pick your unit, we're measuring, no cap πŸ“βœ¨

it was created for GNOME desktops, and you can control it either with the mouse or β€” if you need more precision β€” with the keyboard. the way that keyboard control just exists for the precision girlies?? obsessed 🫢

and if you need it, it also has an option to keep on top of other windows, so it's never gonna get buried under your 47 open tabs. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

as we already said (and I am gonna say it again because it matters), ScreenRuler is a graphical application, and as such it takes no command line options. like, zero. none. nada πŸ™ˆ

all configuration must be done using its GTK interface. so put the terminal down bestie, this one's a mouse-and-click situation, iykyk ✨
