Thanks - I wonder why it doesn't show up in the "All Deals" or "Free Deals" pages?

I noticed that too... and I'll ditto the thanks. Have wanted something like this for a while, but it was a little pricey... |

a couple of people have said that Screen Calipers had difficulties on 64-bit Win 7. One said he solved the problem, by installing new video drivers.
For the record: I have Screen -Calipers -Compass -Protractor and -Shapes, on 64-bit Win 7, with no problems. All purchased on offers.
Notice that the key normally is a lifetime key (I upgraded from version 3 to version 4 for free), but I wonder if this fine giveaway also includes a lifetime key.

Has anyone downloaded and installed from this offer? I'm wondering because I remember awhile back some sites had "free" stuff but it was only free if you purchased like 2 programs or some other jazz.

I purchased, but haven't installed- but it gave me a key as normal for iconico apps.

I just went through the install. Seems legit. For me it may be useful for measuring elements inside windows/forms. But for window dimensions I wrote a hotkey that gives window width height and left top. Another hotkey changes a window to the saved width height. I have to look it over to make sure I check the target "set" window frame is resizeable before I post on my site. They had a review on Softpedia. Major complaint was rotating the caliper. I just tried it and it felt very awkward. But for free I'll take it.  edit: I used a hotmail email for registration and there wasn't any issue. "Unlock" after install succeeded. |

I can see that artistically the caliper thing looks cool. But I think a more utilitarian design would be a cross with multiple jaws. That would minimize rotation. It's apparent from the graphic below that I can't draw. But it gives the idea. The read-out would be in the middle. Also since it's on a computer screen and is not a physical tool, there's no need for the "frame" to be as large as the jaws can be extended. Just have broken line animation while dragging.  |

-your concerns on the offer itself surprises me. But of course you may not have noticed that Iconico who makes Screen Calipers, is the same company that operates Bits du Jour.

Everything went fine, as I posted later. Must be the download button had the same look as some rip-off site where I'd get three links in only to find I was wasting my time. Could be they just used the same graphic for the button. |
