You'd be better off using a screen magnifier application to zoom the entire screen. On Windows, Mac and some distributions of Linux they are built in. On Windows, use the built-in screen magnifier in Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > Magnifier (instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/magnifierturnon.mspx) On Mac, simply use Ctrl-scroll wheel up to zoom in (you might have to enable a preference under the "Trackpad" tab of "Keyboard & Mouse Preferences" to enable it). In Linux, use "Orca" in GNOME or "KMagnifier" in KDE (your distribution probably has a way to enable this through "Accessibility Preferences"). I have a Mac, and I do this all the time to make tracing Yahoo imagery more accurate. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
