"Excellent Alternative to Windows Magnifier"
Version: OneLoupe 2.55
Pros
Easy to use.
Small footprint--uses almost no resourcesCons
Fixed width magnifier. You can get page width magnification by going full screen, but I'd prefer to just widen the magnification area with the basic "magnifying glass.
Installs with no shortcut to add to your quick launch or start menu. The OneLoupe program and settings file must be in the same directory. You cab go to that directory and create a shortcut for the program.
You cannot input either mouse or keyboard data while magnifying with OneLoupe like you can with Windows Magnifier. This is a small inconvenience since the magnified area is over your point of focus and not in a separate window.Summary
Some might question the need for this program. You can magnify web pages by using CNTRL +. Most text programs allow you the opportunity to increase text size. In addition, Windows comes with a magnifier listed in the Accessory/Accessibility programs. If this program were not this small, using infinitesimal resources, I might agree.
That said, this is a great, little program for those of us who need it. Why magnify and entire web page to read the "terms of service" usually presented in a much smaller typeface? The problem here is scrolling, if you must. You have to close the magnifier, scroll, then start the magnifier again... but that's easily done.
If you're looking at a picture and want to magnify an area to see, say, what the dog is holding in its mouth, this program will do it for you. The problem here is when it magnifies, it just fattens pixels without increasing density. That's not really a problem since all programs do that when you increase size--even most photo editors.
Overall, this is an excellent program. Even if you only need to use it rarely, there's no problem allocating a few bytes of space on your hard drive to have it available. (I boot it with windows so it's immediately available as a tray icon--with no drain on RAM or my CPU.) I highly recommend it. -
