mgnfx: A screen magnifier for the truly deranged. This is a standalone screen magnifier intended to work with any X11 desktop on Linux. However, if you use a more sophisticated desktop environment it probably has its own zoom feature built in and you'd be better off using that. This program is for crazy people using obscure window managers. I made this because every other magnifier program was either extremely bad, or didn't include the feature I want: still being able to use the computer while the magnifier is open, rather than magnifying a still frame. COMPILING required libraries: libX11 libXfixes libXdamage libXcomposite libXrender libXrandr libXpresent libXext libinput libudev libevdev Run `make` to produce an executable at `bin/mgnfx`. Then, copy it to somewhere on your path, like `/usr/local/bin/` to make it available on your system. USAGE Most people probably want to run `mgnfx -r -1`. The program creates a magnifier frame that follows the cursor and magnifies its contents. Press the escape key to close the magnifier. Run `mgnfx --help` for a complete list of options.
