Display screen boundaries and user-defined "resolution guides" on mockups.
Choose a screen resolution and define "usable area" and have Balsamiq show you outlines for your browser choice. For example, if you choose a 1024x768 screen, then pick 960x700 for a "viewable", Balsamiq would draw dashed lines on your screen to represent the horizontal and vertical limits in a rectangle. You could show/hide them for printing and export. You could use them to constrain your drawing. You could draw outside of the lines and use the lines to show where the "fold" is.

Inappropriate?Hi Bi-Roller, that's a good idea. For now you could place a Browser or Rectangle control behind everything else, resize it to the size you want (you can use the Position and Size inspector http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mock...) and perhaps lock it in place.

Inappropriate?When I change the position on a control, does it align the control top to that position or the bottom, or the middle?
Let's say I have a 3px tall horizontal rule and I make it's y position 700. Which part of the rule is at 700? -
Inappropriate?Top-Left, but it might not be pixel-perfect, depending on the control...that's not something Mockups is good at...nor designed for really.

Inappropriate?that's fine. I'm spoiled by the fact that it appears to have pixel-perfect stuff ;)
