New Application: Screen Enlarger Tool for Visually Impaired Users

[Nick Strikos <nstrikos@yahoo.gr>]

I would like to inform you about Virtual Viewer, a new application designed to enhance accessibility for visually impaired users. Virtual Viewer, allows users to enlarge the part of the screen which is under mouse cursor, making it easier to read text and view details. It is inspired by Virtual Magnifying Glass, but unlike VMG users can interact with the screen. It also has a dock mode similar to KMag. Although I've tested it thoroughly it's under development, so I don't know if there are any bugs. It works pretty well under Mate and XFCE, but only partially under GNOME. There is a problem with KDE decorations but I've added an option to simulate them.

You can download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtual-viewer/


Key Features:

• Easy-to-Use Interface
• Customizable Magnification Levels: Users can adjust the magnification level to their preference, ensuring optimal visibility.
• Smooth Performance: The tool is optimized for minimal impact on system performance, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Convenient keyboard shortcuts to quickly activate and control the magnification area.
• No Wayland support
• Dock mode

    I would like to hear your feedback. If you encounter any issues or
    have suggestions for improvements, please let me know.
