Thread: Release: Frodo Magnifier Application (Download)

Updated AGAIN, Sorry !

Version 1.2.2
Bugfix, (Hotkey was broken)

Kind of late on this, I know, but I have to saw this app is truely awesome. Very simple, but I do love it more than most other magnifier apps out there. A suggestion that I would still like to suggest is one where the magnified screen moves with the mouse cursor as an option. I like the way it is now, but for people who don't want to use up valuable screen real estate, it might be a good option. Heck, maybe it would be best to change it on the fly by using it on the right-mouse click button. I'm also thinking how it could be implemented in a car environment with a touch screen. There, I think that being able to type where what you type or do enlarges for a defined interval of time so that you can truely see at in instant if you made a mistake. I wish I knew more about that magnify to text or magnify to click (how cool would that be), but it's just a suggestion .

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But I plan to release the source very soon. (Perhaps today or tomorrow) So anyone who wants to continue the project can go right ahead.

Also look at the top now, file is in an installer now.

I dont get the point, why do you want a app like this?

If you don't get the point, then you obviously do not need an app like this...

1) Learning experience
2) It's just friggin cool
3) Why the heck not?

I love it For my ECU tuning software the font it uses is size 10 and it is impossible to see on my 7" composite lcd, this will solve that problem

Also would it be possible at all to remove the title bar and maybe have another app that lets you resize it? That would be the ultimate magnifier app then

Anyways thanks

this is super. a couple of suggestions:

1) like he said, optionally eliminate the title bar
2) allow a jpg/gif overlay, possibly tied to the magnification level. it would allow you to put like a "bullseye" on the magnified image, which could be a subtle fingerprint to show where your touch would go.
