Magnifier Component Description
The Magnifier component provides a display utility that renders the screen more readable for users with low vision. Magnifier creates a separate window that displays a magnified portion of the screen. Users can also change the color scheme of the magnification window for easier visibility. Users can move or resize the Magnifier window, or drag it to the edge of the screen and lock it into place. Magnifier is intended to provide a minimum level of functionality for users with low vision.
When using Magnifier, users can perform the following functions:
- Change the magnification level.
- Change the size of the magnification window.
- Change the position of the magnification window on your desktop.
- Invert the screen colors.
Magnifier also allows users to track the following items:
- Mouse pointer as it moves on the screen.
- Keyboard focus that centers on the location of the cursor.
- Text editing.
When Magnifier is open, users can right-click the magnification window to set these Magnifier options, or to hide or exit Magnifier.
