Screen Measurement

Measure screen elements in pixels.  By default, the hotkey is Win+C.

 

 

 

 

Want more power?  Try the excellent Calipers from Iconico. They're shareware with an unlimited free trial. (Poke around-- there's some other good stuff there too!)

Screen Capture

By hitting Windows+S, you can capture an arbitrary screen rectangle.

When selecting a rectangle, you can use the mouse, or use arrow keys and +/- keys for single-pixel tweaking..

Using the right-mouse button (or holding down CTRL) to end the snapshot allows you to add arrows (left button) or highlight (middle button) to the shot.  You can then right-click to Save to ClipBoard, save to My Pictures, etc.

Alternatively, you can capture a windowed control's canvas.  To use the window capture feature, use Windows+P to bring up the MezerTools window, and drag and drop the blue arrow to the window to copy.

 

Random Other features

  1. Hit Win+P to bring up the Mezer Dialog.
  2. Use the Hexer Tool to convert to/from Hexadecimal numbers
  3. Use the Color Dropper Tool to grab color codes from the screen
  4. Double-click any application's window border to grow that window to the edge of the monitor.

Hint

  • If you find there are hotkey overlaps with other programs on your system, use REGEDIT.EXE to edit the entries under HKCU\Software\Bayden Systems\Mezer.  Restart MezerTools to pick up the new hotkeys.

    Simple command lines to change the Win+* value to other letters include:

    Use "B"

    REG ADD "HKCU\Software\
    Bayden Systems\Mezer" /v "ScreenCapKey" /t REG_DWORD /d 66


    Use "K"
    REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Bayden Systems\Mezer" /v "ScreenCapKey" /t REG_DWORD /d 75

    Use "S" -- the default

    REG ADD "HKCU\Software\
    Bayden Systems\Mezer" /v "ScreenCapKey" /t REG_DWORD /d 83
