show the length and width of the screen in pixels allowing you to precisely position

not you have OpenGL enabled.
The rulers also allow you to create guides.

Checkerboard, the background uses a checkerboard pattern to represent transparent
areas. Deselect the Checkerboard and the background uses the color set in the
Preferences window. See Preview Tab.
