<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I think this could be done with a plasmoid on a panel. I haven't used KMag nor made any plasmoids, yet. Could it be made to work as a panel plasmoid?</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I'm imagining a wide panel with most of it being the view area and some controls on a side. Something like this: http://postimg.org/image/tziyt7pjf/</p>

I am now resending it with the hope it will be on your "TO DO" list.</span> </p>

I have what is known as macular degeneration. My central vision is gone, and I depend on my peripheral vision and the windows XP magnifier to do computer tasks. I find that a "Desktop Magnifier" DOES NOT work. I tried KMag, but it lacks some attributes that would help people afflicted with macular degeneration. </span></p>

Can the KMag utility be configured to work similar to the windows XP magnifier? That is :</span> </p>

This way, other running applications would be forced to resize to fit below the magnifier viewing area. </span></p>

The settings menu could be placed on a panel app on the taskbar or System Tray. This would ensure the best use of the viewable area.</span> </p>
