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:
