"Poorer than other free rulers"
Version: JR Screen Ruler 1.5
Pros
Easy to use
It works as designed
Very light impact on memory usage (<2MB on Win XP)
Inch / cm units of measure available
Pixel / inch calibration allowedCons
The centimeters scale does not show millimeters, which makes JR Ruler useless
It has a cross as a cursor in place of a bar, which makes positioning uncertain
No transparency adjustable
No ruler height adjustable
No colour adjustableSummary
Thank you to publishers to make available this tool for free, however his flexibility is well below similar products, and forgetting about millimeters is a severe design defect.

"Easy to Use, Accurate, and Free"
Version: JR Screen Ruler 1.5
Pros
This is a no frills on-screen ruler that is easy to use and effective in measuring anything on your screen. You can switch between inches, pixels, picas, centimeters, or inches. You can orient the ruler horizontally or vertically.
Cons
None at all. Only a couple suggestions for the next edition if one comes out: add transparency and the option to select different color schemes. Yellow is ok, but it's a bit on the ugly side. lol.
Summary
A previous review complained that Jruler was off by half an inch when measuring an object that was 10 inches. This is simply not true. I measured graphics that were 10 inches and larger and the measurements were dead on. The only explanations I can come up with this discrepancy by the other reviewer are his monitor or software is malfunction or it is a review put up by a rival ruler software developer who is trying to downgrade JRuler.
I found that JRuler out performs all the programs that are trying to charge $10-$25 for their ruler apps. Come on guys, it's only a ruler program. How can you charge that much for such a simple utility when JRuler does the same thing for FREE? -
