Pros
This works perfectly. The magnifier screen can be placed anywhere on the desktop, and can be sized to any size, vertically or horizontally that you want.
Cons
There is nothing I don't like about this software, however the designer should have mentioned THAT IT'S A GOOGLE DESKTOP GADGET!<p>If you do not have Google Desktop installed, this PLUG IN will do nothing at all.<p>I gave it a five rating because the plug-in does just what it's supposed to do, but if I were able to rate the description, it would get a 1. I would never have known what this was if I did not already have Google desktop, and the only reason I even picked up on what it was, was because the Google Desktop alert window opened while installing it.
