Virtual Magnifying Glass - free and open source magnifier

Notes from ClifNotes, Nov 2007, permalink Desktop Tools

 

One of my co-workers loves to play with freebie utilities as much as I do. After I'd recommended a program to him, he wrote back with a tip about two nice magnifying apps. Both are good, but the Virtual Magnifying Glass is something I'll be keeping.

 

A tip from Allen H.

Thanks, Clif. I am always interested in new software utilities. I picked up (Dragnifier) a neat little magnifier program from Siemens (UGS). I've seen their instructors use this in a classroom to highlight a portion of a dialog box on the screen. This program does not require an installation.

 

While searching for Dragnifier, I also found VMG (Virtual Magnifying Glass). It works like Dragnifier, but has more options.

 

Quote from the website

Virtual Magnifying Glass is a free, open source, screen magnification tool for Windows and Linux. It is simple, customizable, and easy-to-use.

Download the installer at:

http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/

 

I found out that VMG seems to run fine as a no-install.

Download my no-install version:
