The DOM Inspector is great, but don't you think it is a little more work to
open it up and click through it than to just use the icons on the status
bar? Also, is there really a way to use the DOM Inspector to do exactly
what MeasureIt or Colorzilla do? (for example, hover over a graphic to get
the color value, or measuring an area in pixels by using a marquee tool on
the screen?) I don't know how to do that with the DOMi (but would like to
learn). Are you refering to the mouseover DOM inspector bookmarklet from
SlayerOffice?

I think you're probably right... :S
Maybe I will replace that with some links to info about the DOM Inspector.

I've never used it -- I'm not sure.
