There are two packages in the repositories:
Screen ruler
sudo apt-get install screenruler
- kruler
I haven't tried either of them, but they might be what you're looking for.

I will comment something I just found: Screenruler is good, but does not show a number of pixels by default, just a hardly-visible tiny hashmarks. you have to right click and set "track mouse" to do this.

Well if you are going to use it for web design or web development then I would use the Web Developer extension within the FireFox Web browser. It also has tons of other useful tools which can be very helpful in your designs or development. It works great for CSS designs.
Take a look at it here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60/ .
I also think they have it for Chrome. This will provide you with a great on screen ruler for all your design projects.
