QuickLens 2.8 fix

November 9, 2021

As a UI Designer/Developer, it is natural to explore the UI created by you or by others.

Be it the margins that were chosen, the angle used in an icon, length or bounding box of some element, the colors used or just zooming closer to the pixels.

QuickLens offers a suite of tools that enable all of these actions and much more!

QuickLens allows you to:

Zoom into Pixels
Measure Dimensions and Angles
Sample Colors and maintain Palettes
Simulate Color Blindness and Color Contrast in real-time
Inspect Alignments
Check layouts with Grids
Overlay Guides on multiple monitors
Check real-time distances and bounding-boxes

…all through a suite of tools:

Lens • Ruler • Frame • Guide • Monocle • Crosshair

Each tool has a clearly defined purpose and does one thing exceedingly well.

When combined with other tools, you can bring out the true power of QuickLens.
