Re: Enlarging menus
My understanding of thread starter is that he/she want to increase the font size of the letters in the menu. Neither of Zooms or ZoomText do that. The font size is the same, but they enlarge the menu by zooming in and out i.e. zooming in makes the menu letters look larger, but then you can`t see the rest of the screen. Its like looking in a tunnel with Zooming capacity. Take care 21. jan. 2014 kl. 20:08 skrev Chris Blouch cblo...@aol.com: OSX has a general screen magnifier. Turn it on in the System Preferences under Accessibility and then Zoom. Usual thing is to hold down control and do a two-finger stroke up and down to increase/decrease zoom on a trackpad or control+roller-wheel on a mouse with one of those. There are a bunch of options to play with like adding zoom in/out keystrokes and having the zoom area follow keyboard focus. CB On 1/21/14 10:26 AM, Daniel Hawkins wrote: I am too a VO user.

Enlarging menus
