One application that I look for every so often is a screen measuring application. Developing on the web, I often find myself in need of being able to measure how big something on the screen is in pixels. It's strange that I have not yet found anything that truly suits my needs and workflow.
What I usually end up doing is taking a screenshot of the screen and opening it in Irfanview to measure it. This isn't exactly efficient.
What I would really like is something that sits on true simply in the system tray, and activates only upon pressing a specific hotkey. When I push the hotkey, only then would it take a screenshot of the screen and display it for me, whereupon I could use some measuring tools on it....
