The homepage isn't showing.

Is the ruler scalable? Can it be used horizontally and vertically? Can you change the measurements (inches, picas, milimeters at least).

Also, the darker colors might make it a little less readable. More transparency would be good.

Its working now, its the widget download, you need Tiger to use it.

No its not scalable, fixed at 640 pix width, horizontal only at present, only measures in Pixels and Millimeters.

I may increase the transparency if people complain, there is a highly transparent option at the end, it seems to work for me at the moment.

Thanks for the comments Randman.

More transparent.
A less transparent outline and numbers. That way you can tell the ruler is there and have an outline. Not thick, but maybe as thick as that gray outline on Aqua windows.
