Magnify

Magnify is a tool that enlarges the screen beneath the mouse pointer by default with the factor of 8. The tool lets you get custom close-ups of anything on the screen, at just about any resolution. This makes Magnify ideal for visually impaired people, in the combination with a low screen resolution and maximum font size in menus.

All of Magnify's features are available from the pop-down menu. In the bottom part of the menu there are features for increasing and decreasing the window size (default: 32x32), and for increasing and decreasing pixel size (default: 8 pixels/pixel).

Magnify also have one last useful feature, as it lets you determine the RGB value of any pixel. As you can see from the screenshot, there is a red point in the upper left corner of the magnify window. The RGB value for this point is R: 185 G: 185 B: 185.

The tool is one of the few applications in Zeta with it's inbuilt help system. Choose help from this menu and a detailed description of Magnify's features will appear.
