Looking forward to testing the magnifier! I’ll keep recommending Windows Magnifier and ZoomIt, but I always like to have more tools in the low vision Swiss army knife. There are a couple of edge cases to each that I’d like to see ironed out.
I’m not familiar with Zoomit - is this it? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit
In any case, always good to have multiple tools to choose from, as you say.
That’s the one. It has better support for multi-monitor setups than Magnifier and can zoom on a lot of games Magnifier can’t. It’s clearly somewhere else in the graphics pipeline. I hope other people on team know about it, is good to know what others are doing when developing your product.
Definitely good to know what others are doing - both for knowledge, and to recommend where appropriate :)
