I use a program called zoomtext for zooming in on maps. IT lets me blow up the whole screen, but pans by moving the mouse. No need to drag the window around over things. The zoomed area is the whole screen. Plus it will read the text, text to voice. Just some ideas. Zoomtext is pretty expensive though.

Here are my suggestions for future features:
- Variable zoom levels
- No title bar
- Make it easy to reposition magnification window by clicking anywhere on program window and dragging. In winamp this is called "EasyMove."
- Minimize to system tray rather than task bar
- Snap to text cursor (magnifier automatically follows text as it is being typed
Just tried it on a Duron 750MHz at home, and it's many times faster and smoother than on my 1800MHz Dell at work! Go figure...Originally Posted by frodobaggins

Car changed for TVR Griffith 500, so computer de-installed. Using a Dension 100ix w/60Gb HD unit in the interim.

I'll try to implement some of the suggestions today. I will at least fix the cpu usage issue !.

Thing works lickety-split, no ****! Good stuff! I'm putting it on the second monitor and keeping it as big as possible to mess with my roommate's heads!It's distracting as all get out to them, and is giving me some more ideas too!

Wow... Almost like teh vultures here huh Frodo?Pop a tasty tidbit up for all to see, and it becomes a free-for-all of feature requests for something as simple (yet way cool) as a screen magnifier!
Glad there are people like you on the ball, so the rest of us can have something to bark about. That is, once laughing at the smoking macaque gets boring....
