Software: PixelStick

From time to time, you’ll need a ruler on your screen for measuring for example the actual width of some elements styled with CSS. I found PixelStick to be quite useful. It’s free, looks cool and does the job. You can make it snap to certain angles and lengths and move it around. It’s still a PowerPC binary, but that doesn’t matter at all - it runs fine on my Intel Mac.

Thanks for the tip.

To find specific colors I use a the color picker from http://www.kits.it. It is free and helps me find right places in the CSS markup quickly.
