Magnifier

Magnifier puts a floating magnifying-glass icon on your screen (Figure 8-

38, top left). When you click it, you get the Magnifier toolbar (top right).

Magnifier creates various magnification effects—great when your eyes are
tired or old, or when you’re trying to study something whose font is just too

dang small.

Using the Views menu, you can choose “Full screen” (the entire screen
image grows when you click the button), “Lens” (you get a floating

magnification inset that follows your cursor, as shown at bottom in
Figure 8-38), or “Docked” (the top strip of the screen is one giant
magnification inset; the rest of the screen is normal size).

In each case, the magnified area scrolls as you move your cursor, tab
through a dialog box, or type, enlarging whatever part of the screen contains
the action. Using Magnifier Settings (click the in the toolbar), you can

specify how the magnification area should follow your cursor, change the
zoom increments, set up Magnifier to open automatically when you sign in,
