From the view menu, you can also choose:
- Full Screen: You can zoom in on the entire screen when the Full Screen option is selected.
- Lens: In zoom mode, you can move the mouse around the screen to see what your mouse is hovering over since zooming is only applied to a rectangular area around your mouse pointer.
- Docked: Zooming is done by docking the zoomed “lens” to the top of the screen, as opposed to moving the mouse pointer. A docked display will always display the position of the mouse pointer, no matter what zoom level is selected.
The Magnifier can be closed by pressing Windows + ESC or by closing the program.
