<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>@Cristopher: I couldn't find any magnifier ready to install at the Ubuntu Software Center with the exception of KMag which while being a nice app will pull a lot of KDE SC packages bringing some possible unwanted secondary effects like configurations mismatch and so on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are techy I suggest you take 10 minutes and learn how to use Compiz (Ubuntu's built-in screen compositor) for your needs, here is a good tutorial on how to install its control centre and configure it: <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/164820/default-screen-magnifier" target="_blank">http://askubuntu.com/questions/164820/default-screen-magnifier</a>. Compiz has a very powerful and flexible magnifying ability you can tweak to your likening.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another interesting alternative that seems to suite some users well is this application: <a href="http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/</a> (pay no attention to the antique look and feel of the site!)</div>
<div>You will need to download this file: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier/files/magnifier%20for%20Linux/3.5/magnifier-linux-3.5.tar.bz2/download" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier/files/magnifier%20for%20Linux/3.5/magnifier-linux-3.5.tar.bz2/download</a> and uncompress in a directory (folder) you own, like ~/bin or ~/apps and just click it to launch the app.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me know if you need further directions!</div><div class="gmail_extra">-- <br><div dir="ltr">/Martin</div>
