So, if you have installed it, the batch file should change to: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Virtual Magnifying Glass\magnifier.exe" -docked Please tell me if that works.Nikolaos StrikosFri, 19 Jun 2026 14:57:43 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80eb/94dc/736f/3d9d/8107/804e/4117https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80eb/94dc/736f/3d9d/8107/804eNikolaos, I think I may have been a little unclear with my previous message. Currently, when I open VMG the magnifying window automatically appears. The docked glass does not appear until I press Ctrl-Alt-G to display it. What I was hoping for is some way that when I run my batch file routine to open VMG I only want to automatically see the docked glass and not see the magnifying window.

This is working much better Nikolaos. I decreased the width by about 50 pixels; the height was fine. I placed the docked glass directly above Spotify song’s timestamp which works great. One other question if you please. I assume this is possible but what I’m looking for is a way that when VMG opens the magnifying window does not appear; the docked glass automatically appears.

You have to do it only once, not every time. In the options dialog you can change this bookmark hotkey. Are you sure you are doing this? No, it is not possible to place the docked glass above the position you want to enlarge. This is what dynamic mode should do, but dynamic mode does not work. What i would suggest...Nikolaos StrikosTue, 16 Jun 2026 15:41:56 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80eb/94dc/736f/3d9dhttps://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80eb/94dc/736fThank you Nikolaos for getting back to me. This is working better but I still have some questions if you please. I am having a problem assigning a static location for the point of magnification. When I turn off Follow Mouse and select Bookmark I cannot get the point of magnification to remain. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Could you explain that a bit more? Is it possible to place the Docked Glass directly over the point you want magnified?

Make all the settings that you have already done. Additionally in the configurations dialog, in the docked glass page: select cursor to None and mode to bookmark. You can also select the hot key to update your bookmark's position. Go the mouse to the position you want and press the hotkey. Now, the glass enlarges only this position. You don't have to do it again. It remembers it every time you start the application. After this you only need to press the hot...Nikolaos StrikosSat, 13 Jun 2026 07:10:53 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80eb/94dchttps://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8e/80ebThat would be great.

The docked glass not following the mouse but enlarging only a specific place of the screen. I can implement this. I will also look how small the docked glass can be made. I will come back with a version of the program with these improvements. This is not so difficult to do. We can tailor this to your preferences.Nikolaos StrikosMon, 08 Jun 2026 10:01:25 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#bb8ehttps://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/94/?limit=25#a30e/808fThank you so very much Nikolaos for getting back to me. I’m not quite sure what you are saying but I did try some of your suggestions. However, not being very familiar with all the VMG options I may be doing something wrong. Here is what I did: Unchecked (Removed) “Dynamic Mode” Clicked “Show Magnifying Glass” Pressed Ctrl-Alt-G to display “Docked Glass” Changed the size of the magnifying glass.

First of all the code that handles dynamic mode was written very long ago. I am not an expert but i think that microsoft has added some features to the way windows are handled. When applications update their code to take advantage of these new features makes the dynamic mode of virtual magnifying glass stop working. However, there is a workaround to get the feature you want.

I use VMG 3.71 with Ubuntu-based Linux. When I click on the box on the taskbar to invoke VMG, a menu drops down with many options. The first is "Show Magnifying Glass." Up comes the frame of the magnifying glass. But the menu doesn't go away. It lies atop some of the text I'm trying to read. Is there some way to fix this? I love VMG, and previous versions didn't act this way.

The download seemed to go fine however when I click on the VMG icon not only does it open the magnifier as it should (about a 1"x2"window) but it also magnifies the entire desktop. Is there someway to open VMC without magnifing the surrounding desktop?

I don't have a Windows machine right now, but the problem is probably due to the configuration file. You have to find it. Search these pathes: C:\Documents and Settings_MY_USER_\Application Data\magnifier.ini or C:\Program Files\Virtual Magnifying Glass\magnifier.ini I would try to: 1> Uninstall 2> Delete both configuration files 3> Install again please let me know if this solution works for you. -- Felipe Monteiro de CarvalhoFelipe Monteiro de CarvalhoTue, 29 Jan 2019 08:34:21 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/82/?limit=25#37a0/d68ahttps://sourceforge.net/p/magnifier/bugs/82/?limit=25#37a0I discovered the classic version works only when I right click the desktop icon and select "Run as Administrator" and then click "Yes" to allowing the appt to make changes to my computer. This is inconvenient. I still would like only to have to click the icon in my Taskbar and have the app open in Classic mode. Still need help.

I believe enrique really meant was to SHOW THE CURSOR ON THE ACTUAL AREA MAGNIFIED to see what is magnified. Ive installed the utility for my mother and she cant use it because this crucial feature is missing: either you see the magnified text and not what is magnified, or the actaul screen.
