[Win/Mac/Linux] Was there a time when you wanted to measure the size of an object on screen? I found a free app for it. Pixus is a desktop AIR app that measures screen objects. Developed by JPEG Interactive, Pixus has a very intuitive User Interface that you can control precisely with a keyboard or mouse.

I can see this is a great tool for Graphic and Web designers. Find out what other features Pixus offers.

You can quickly drag Pixus to measure a screen object and the dimension will be shown on the top.

There is a very helpful panel that shows the keyboard shortcut for controlling Pixus. You may noticed that Pixus can change it skin to Safari.

There is an IE7 skin as well. It's great to stimulate your design on different browsers.

Pixus also comes with presets for PSP, iPhone, VGA...

You can also easily create your own Presets for future uses.

I personally find Pixus very useful. I would highly recommend it to all graphic designers. It's Free, and works for WIndows, Mac OS, Linux.
You can get Pixus form Adobe Marketplace or JPEG Interactive.
