In 4.4, kendy reduced the size of the ruler which made it look nicer, but gray color of the measurement numbers which have gotten smaller are now harder to see, so it would be good to darken them.
From my point of view it could maybe be a little bit darker, but to be sure I would need to see them side by side.
