What's new

v1.1 [Aug 31, 2011]
New feature: inverted overlay mode. Inverted mode fills the background instead of the selected area, and you can still change the color/opacity of the background with the standard shortcuts. Hit "i" to switch between normal and inverted.
All changes:
- Added inverted overlay mode (shortcut: i)
- Made hotkey activate or deactivate app (instead of just activating it)
- Some minor user interface updates to handles and dimensions bubble to help stand out better
- Crosshairs will no longer deactivate the current app so it works better with apps like Photoshop. Side effect is no custom cursor support. Added preference to return the old way if you prefer.
- Added highlight to menu bar icon to show when app is active
- Added in-app help screen that lists all keyboard shortcut
- Left-click in menu bar icon activates app, right-click (control-click) shows menu
- Fixed bugs with color preference settings not taking effect right away
- Fixed bug with taking screenshots on computers with multiple screens being off
- Ensured overlay always snaps to whole pixels, even during screen zoom, for sharpest possible lines
- Now always showing dimensions outside box and removed option
