After that, Stephen quickly learned about unlocking the bootloader and gaining full root access - both changed his smartphone life forever. However, he didn't get his first Android device until 2009 with the original Motorola Droid. He has actively followed the Android scene since 2008 with the HTC Dream, known by most as the T-Mobile G1. Stephen previously worked as a freelance how-to guide writer for the Android rooting, modding, and custom ROM section at Gadget Hacks. As a long-time power user who knows his devices from the inside out, he uses that knowledge to tweak and customize them to better fit his specific needs. He came on board with the team in late 2021, bringing his strong technical background in computers, smartphones, and customer service with him. Very small executable, so the app launches very quickly.Stephen is a freelance writer at Android Police who primarily covers how-to guides, features, and the occasional in-depth explainer across various topics.Optimized memory usage - keep your RAM for other apps.Pixel Tools will only display updates when needed and, on Mac OS X 10.9 or higher, won't update when obscured by other windows. Designed to maximize your Mac's battery life.Get the color values for each sub-point pixel using the arrow keys. Enhanced for your Mac's Retina display.Works with any number of monitors, of any size, and any layout.With updates locked, the mouse-over will remain on, while you measure. For example, you might use this to measure the distance on an item that has a mouse-over effect. Allows locking the screen updates so that you can measure transient or animated effects.You might use this to change the color format settings without affecting what the app is focused on. Allows locking the mouse position to focus on a particular area on the screen.Both of these features are particularly important for users on small screens. Pixel Tools is designed to see underneath itself, making it so that even when it covers part of the app that you are measuring, it still works. Allows you to hide controls and rulers so that the window can be sized to have a very small footprint, yet still be completely usable.This is great if you want to keep Pixel Tools open all of the time, but don't want it obstructing your view when trying to read your mail. Allows setting the main window to float in front of all other windows for easy access (default), or setting it to behave like a normal window so that it can layer behind the frontmost app.Global keyboard shortcuts can also be disabled. For example, to set the measurement origin you can use the space-bar when the app is frontmost, and when it's in the background you use Control-Option-Command-Space-Bar to do the same thing.

Measures the distance in pixels between two points on the screen (Width, Height, and Straight Line Distance).Tracks the mouse and magnifies the region of interest (1x - 64x).Pixel Tools is the ideal companion for designers and anyone that needs to make pixel precise measurements, get the numeric value of a color, or magnify a portion of any screen. ![]()
