Zoommy is a handy and feature-rich on-screen magnifier, making life easy for visually impaired PC users and enhancing working abilities of design professionals. Not only does it magnify the selected area up to 30x, but it can also measure it, take screenshots and show pixel color info. Also it has the Slow Mouse mode providing the best zooming experience. The tool is delivered in a refined interface where every feature is at hand and available at one click.

With this tool you will be able to see each and every detail. Moreover, unlike similar software, Zoommy’s magnifying glass works for both zoom in and zoom out, allowing zooming from -4x to 30x. Thus, if you need to see a distant view of some large image, it will also be of help. With Zoommy, you can quickly measure the size of the selected area in various units, including centimeters, inches, percent, etc. Another feature is that you can copy an image from the lens window to clipboard and save it to a file, i.e. you can make screenshots of zoomed objects. Zoommy also comes in handy when you need to know the color of some pixel. The pixel color is shown in RGB, CMYK, HSV, Lab and in two hexadecimal formats. It can match the color of the pixel with one of the “Web colors” which is especially convenient in web design.

Zoommy is designed to provide users with maximum comfort and flexibility. The software has the unique Slow Mouse mode, allowing you to navigate with pinpoint accuracy. The mode can be quickly turned on\off by a hotkey and stops any time you minimize the tool to system tray. What’s more, for your convenience, the pointer in the lens window is shown in such a way that you can clearly see its actual position and easily point out the needed pixel. You can adjust various settings, for example, change lens’s size and position, fine-tune brightness, contrast and choose one of the following color modes: normal, inverse, black and white or gray gradation

QuickButtons allows you to create an AppBar with buttons that simulate keystrokes. An AppBar is like the Windows Task Bar - a bar that sits at the bottom or top of your screen. A QuickButtons Button Bar will sit happily above the Windows Task bar and will stay visible at all times so that you can work with your favourite applications and click on QuickButtons buttons whenever you need to. By assigning tricky keystrokes to large buttons complicated key sequences can be reduced to a single click. Buttons can be made quite large to increase the target area, reducing the chance for error. QuickButtons was originally written for Mark Weidmann, who suffers from MD, to try and make the use of his computer easier and it is hoped that QuickButtons will benefit others who find using keyboard shortcuts difficult or prefer to use the mouse. Mark enjoys playing on-line games and communicating with his Internet friends. Some of his games have awkward keystrokes that make playing them rather less enjoyable. QuickButtons lets him replace those keyboard sequences with simple buttons that are always available on the screen. Multiple Button Bars can be created and more than one can be active at one time. This means you can have Button Bars for different applications, or groups of applications. For instance you could create a Microsoft Office Button Bar, one for your favourite game and another for your email program. Also ideal for Tablet PCs or situations where a keyboard is not always available.

While your hosts are hanging-up,your income is falling. Stop it with "AlertPing"!
