Scroll bars are used to view that screen a portion at a time. It can screen shot the whole screen to a png file.

Are there other browses that can do this.

@Kitze, i’m a long time Sizzy user and i agree with the author about the UI. It’s cluttered and not very intuitive because of all those features. To be honest, i was quite happy with the basics instead of all the features that i never (or barely) use and slow down Sizzy.

For me Sizzy was the best out there but it became above average when all the features where added, the UI got messy over time and it got slower every release. I still use it by the way but i would love to see the UI got some TLC instead of adding more and and more and more features every release. And V0.32 didn’t make the UI any better, it made it worser to be honest.

I’m always on the fence about ‘lifetime’ licenses. On the one hand it’s often not a sustainable model. On the other hand, I really don’t care for subscriptions, so I’m always tempted.

There are so many extra features that we have like:
Float Mode
Photo Studio
Presets
Sizzy Projects
– Reference Browser: a browser that you can open within Sizzy so you don’t have to keep another browser open while doing development

etc.

That it’s not fair to be put in a “browser for responsive design” category. We even have a Reference Browser: a browser that you can open within Sizzy so you don’t have to keep another browser open while doing development.

We’re aiming to make Sizzy a browser for developers, regardless if you’re doing responsive design or not.

Also, regarding your note about cluttered UI: you can make the UI look however you want. There is literally a setting for customizing everything. In Sizzy 0.32 we simplified the UI by removing the sidebar and merging all the tabs in one tab bar that’s completely customizable and can be toggled with a shortcut.

Sorry if the onboarding emails were too much. I might’ve added to that by emailing you personally since I was so excited for you to try Polypane!

I’ve already implemented your killer feature in the Polypane elements panel, which you can see in the video on this page at the 0:52 mark. You can select elements in all panes and get their info. Then you can edit content, styling and attributes in all panes at the same time. Once you’re used to that there’s no going back.

Polypane also has a bunch more features. There’s built-in live reloading/”autorefresh”, which updates CSS and images without reloading the page so it’s super fast. There’s 25 different overlays that include a design mode and outlining all elements (which will highlight overflowing elements for you as well) but also color blindness simulators and automated color contrast checking.

The live CSS panel you mentioned will inject any Google font for you and Polypane also has a layout that gives you a regular browser screen that still includes all the dev features Polypane has.

If you’re up for it I’d love to give you a deep-dive overview of all the things Polypane can do.

It was my favorite because it most closely emulated mobile and tablet behaviors. I’ve tried all of the above and personally I don’t think any are as good as Screenfly was.
