Kinda slow and it beeps. Not quite OSX either.
BretLeduc- Pros
- It runs on my Windows 10 laptop. It zooms using CTRL+scroll, which is like OSX, and better than having to press WIN++.
- Cons
- Zooming in and out is quite slow. I wouldn't say it slows the computer, just that the zooming itself is no where near as smooth as OSX. When you're zoomed in, for some reason the computer beeps when I try to scroll up or down in a webpage. When you're zoomed in and move the cursor, the whole window moves around. In OSX, the window moves when you reach the edge. I don't see any way to change this behaviour.
- Summary
- I think I'm just going to stick with WIN + +/-. That feature is much quicker and doesn't beep at you.
great zooming for screen cast and presentations
smart_newline- Pros
- smooth zoom in\out
- Cons
- need install\not portable
- Summary
Just what I needed! Now don't have to buy a new PC!
RadioRan- Pros
- Works very well. Like the ability to start it from seldom-used keys. Can't beat the price! Uses minimum resources; does not overwhelm my ancient laptop.
- Cons
- Any way to throttle it back to powers of 1.25, 1.50,1.75, etc? Some times I need only a <little> help!
- Summary
- Being partially-sighted, I am already using a bigger monitor and a magnifying glass. Now, I need to pack only the laptop when travelling! THANK YOU!
it works! and works well on my winxp
KevinProv- Pros
- The winxp answer to zooming on a Mac. Works on any of my 3 displays. All computer functions remain in tact, (unllike zoomit which lets you zoom and not do any thing else except look at it)
- Cons
- zooming with the scroll button is slow at times. i'll just be using the keyboard commands
- Summary
- Due to cnet's terrible search engine, this one appears low on the llist when searching "desktop zoom". Why google earth software lists first, i have no idea. Someone at cnet should look into this.
this program freezes on my computer
wweman231- Pros
- nothing that i seen
- Cons
- freezes on my computer and glitches the mouse
- Summary
Seems to be easy to use.
sprkymrt- Pros
- You can click on the icon from the quick-launch bar and adjust this as you need it. If you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel you can rotate the scroll wheel to adjust the size of the magnification. Escape will send the window back to normal.
- Cons
- May be a slight blurring at large magnification but that would occur with most enlargements.
- Summary
- Should prove to be very useful as some of the print in some windows can be very small. I was looking for something to give me the magnification that I have on my Mac without having to jump through hoops and this is fine for my usage.
It's handy and easy to use.
Udom Thuvavong- Pros
- I am using netbook,sometime it is quite difficult to read,with the aid of this little piece S/W it help.
- Cons
- The step of enlargement is too large.
- Summary
A simple, easy to use application, but with the odd bug
Warby579- Pros
- Does exactly what it says on the tin, It zooms in and out of your screen just like the Mac OSX one does
- Cons
- This is not good for slow computers, It slows down your computer immensly when you zoom. If you get stuck in the mess of not being able to zoom out, press escape. I found that out the hard way with my granddad's old thing.
- Summary
- Overall, this product could do with some more developing, but if you have a half-decent computer, and you don't mind the occasional bug, this is for you, like on my Vista PC, It sometimes stops the display when you zoom in, but it comes back when you zoom out . It does just what it says on the tin, It zooms your screen, and it does it very well, I think.
