Re: ZoomText and SeaMonkey

Johnny :) curiously with my notebook, hitting ctrl makes the cursor radar to be shown , due to the effect of the track pad driver (a mouse driver can do the same) maybe a check could be done if the last release of the drivers are applied, mouse and video card more SM2 has capabilities of zooming the text only, or the whole page, on the choice of the user, it just needs to be made more practicable. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531039 I could see myself that the use of nosquint addon makes things nearly perfect, but ... in mailnews component the zoom effects are not provided as easily as in the browser in mailnews I can textzoom with ctrl + but not with ctrl scroll... curious. -- cyberzen ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: ZoomText and SeaMonkey
Your Operating System Windows XP Services Pack 3 Your Monitor size 21 inches Your Video settings (pixel size) 800 X 600 Seamonkey version 2.0.8 my preferred screen magnification is 10X thanks... that clarifies your need. It would help to get the ruler size height of a readable character on your monitor screen such as 1.5 inches The point or font sizes end up being dependent on other factors that determine the baseline for your display... i.e. if you were to change your display settings from 800x600 to 1600x1200, all the characters of the same point size would then be 1/4 the size after the switch. You seem to have a good handle on your setup, so, all I can do is to add a few thoughts; The windows font setting can make a major difference but while helping by increasing the size of text throughout the computer, many programs assume that the setting will be standard and cut off or hide text that is larger than the window it will display in. To experiment, would suggest displayproperties/settings/advanced/DPI/Large You can go to custom but I assume you will find that 150% and larger will lead to too many problems. If you don't have one, consider getting on of the Microsoft Intellimouse products. These have additional buttons on the mouse and ship with Intellipoint sofware that includes an excellent magnifier. You can then set one of these buttons to launch the magnifier which will appear centered around the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen. Additionally, when holding the button down, the scroll wheel varies the magnification and moving the mouse resizes the magnification box. Post specific questions and I and others will try to assist.

Re: ZoomText and SeaMonkey
I want to let you know that I got a new screen magnification/Reader called is ZoomText version 9.18 from my Blind state agency. Thanks for the post. It is helpful to get input on needs that most of us cannot comprehend. It would help if you posted some additional information including; Your Operating System Your Monitor size Your Video settings (pixel size) Seamonkey version Physical Size (the height of characters) the text needs to be for you to easily read it. Can you please make SeaMonkey magnification/Reader accessible? Within SeaMonkey, the text size is controlled by Ctrl + and Ctrl -) Unfortunately, most website designs do not allow large text to display gracefully. Your magnifier should run above SeaMonkey and other applications. It sounds like it would be helpful to have someone familiar with the program configure it on your computer while you watch and learn. There are other magnifiers available depending on your system, but, they may not be sufficient for your needs.

SeaMonkey's default value is Variable Width at 10 pts. [Except for the News Newsgroups set to Fixed Width in Plain Text composition] And, for ZoomText, my preferred screen magnification is 10X that would make it look like it would be 22 or 24 font size, but SeaMonkey is really set to 10 points.
