The menu system is a little odd but it's got a lot of cool functionality and tweaks for a small zoom program.

ZoomIt provides three useful tools for almost any presentation including a screen zoom, annotation tool, and break timer. The zoom option helps focus on a specific point or part of the screen while the annotation tool can help emphasize or edit what's shown (press Ctrl+S to save a screenshot).
The program includes customisable hotkeys, zoom levels, two different kinds of zoom (a "live" zoom as well as a passive read-only view), and a variety of different annotation features.

Been using this a lot in screen sharing meetings and demonstrations. Works well, but often get a "didn't shut down properly" message and have to restart on Win7x64. Very lucky to have it. |
Magnifixer is a screen magnifier utility that lets you place the window anywhere on your screen, make it any size, and select a zoom level. The program will always show the area of your screen around your mouse cursor.

This one is great. Unlike the other magnifier in the database ("OneLoupe"), it can also magnify constantly changing values on the display (OneLoupe sticks to the first value when moved over a changing field). I use Magnifixer to magnify the constantly changing display of a stopwatch ("1Time", also in the database), so I can check the watch when I'm doing something several metres away from the screen.

Currently in my Win10 installation ctrl-G for showing/hiding Magnifixer is not globally available. Any idea on how to fix this? |

I have had to use Desktop Zoom for real recently after an eye operation, and have uninstalled it. It would always fairly quickly lead to complete system lockup on my Win 7 Home Premium PC, mouse and keyboard completely useless, no pssibility to launch Task manager, hard shutdown the only option. |
Mousinity creates an infinity effect for your cursor when it reaches the edges of your screen. For example if you go to the top of your screen, your mouse will appear on the bottom, right-to-left, etc. This is especially useful for large screens.
A 64-bit version is also available (within the folder).
Note: The program has no icon or taskbar item so when you want to close the application, run Mousinity again and select 'yes'. Website offline, linking to archive.org and Softpedia.

Maybe it's the new version (1.7), but this doesn't seem to save settings in the application folder. If not, it's not portable (settings aren't portable).

Settings aren't really portable, but in view of their number and the nature of the program, that's not really an issue, IMHO... |
