How do I measure screen width and screen depth?

Question

I would like to know whether you might have a quick program which measures screen width and screen height. For example, starting off reading left to right (or right to left), I would like to know the proportion of the screen being used in terms of: number of pixels used for width / total width of pixels

What do you mean by the proportion of the screen being used? Used by what ? — zakinster, Jun 11 '13 at 08:12
Are you asking what the resolution is? If so, you can find this out in Control Panel -> Display -> Adjust Resolution. — Dave, Jun 11 '13 at 08:43

If you are developing in some gui framework there are always hardcoded methods to obtain native width and height of the screen.

If you want to measure the width / heights of applications/graphics etc on screen, search Google for on screen ruler such as Jruler (free). This way, if you have several windows open, you can measure the length/height of each application. Or, on a website, you could measure how wide the left menu is compared to the right menu.
