Hey Allen,

If you're talking about the little circle type spotlight when the screen dims, it's not actually inspecting pixel sizes or anything else.

It is simply a screen-cast version of a laser-pointer. Guil is using it to point out what/where he applying a change. Many of the instructors use that in their screen-casts to focus attention on what they are working on.

Keep Coding! :)
