Screen Divider

Depending on the environment it’s used in, a computer can be fitted with various types of applications to send signals to specific machines, or even measure objects. For the latter option, Screen Divider comes with an abundance of shapes, lines, and other options with which to transform your desktop into a measurement canvas.

There’s one thing you need to check before taking the application for a spin, and that’s whether or not your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, although modern Windows iterations come with it in the default set of features.

Once launched, there’s no actual main window which shows up, but rather a set of controls you can move around. You can also bring up the settings panel in order to manage existing, or to create more objects, as well as general application behavior. It usually stays hidden in the tray area, with options to make it run with Windows.

Almost any aspect can be customized, including the interface, which comes with various different skins. Multiple instances can be brought up, for a greater variety of measuring possibilities.

The desktop dial is how you add new lines, objects, and adjust corresponding size characteristics. You start off with a set of three lines, which you can rotate, and move around. However, possibilities greatly extend when adding circles, squares, and other shapes. There are also multiple modes, depending on what needs to be measured, such as ascending lines, or vanishing points.

Apart from the default shapes you can add, there’s a built-in editor with which to create more measurement instruments. It simply puts a canvas at your disposal, on which to combine existing ones, and use as a whole later on.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Screen Divider is a powerful measurement application, not necessarily for the default style, but mostly for the freedom of options in customization options, allowing you to build more instruments, shapes, and other objects to help you with your work.
