  • Tool: ScreenScale

    Just uploaded my newly developed hobby tool “Screen Scale” which is an on-screen ruler tool useful for the designers and developers for checking the positioning of controls. Features of this version are:

    • Size up to width/height of the screen
    • Transparency
    • Marking center
    • Horizontal and Vertical rulers
    • Multiple Scales
    • Lens (for zoom)
    • Pixel notation in ruler
    • Hide to System Tray

     

    The tool is programmed on C# under Visual Studio 2008. Contact me if somebody need the source code. Here is a screenshot:

    The company’s resident IT professional extraordinaire has just returned from a much-deserved vacation but, in a temporary spell of relaxed judgment, has jeopardized their reputation with a poorly placed email and forwarded personal holiday snaps to the entire staff. Now they have to excavate through the email chain to find the offending photos – all while keeping the office online.

    In Server Quest II, the sequel to last year’s pixellated adventure, players must hone their technical prowess in order to prove once and for all why the tech pros take the cake.  From software support to sidequests, players will get behind the curtain and live the life of a server genius fighting for respect.
