What's new in Virtual Magnifying Glass 3.6

Feb 14, 2015
  • This version brings as its most distinctive feature a much sharper magnification in Mac OS X and Linux. This should increase the usability of the magnifier for inspecting text and other small details. An anti-aliasing option is also provided and will in the future be improved. This new version can be downloaded from our Files section. Currently the Mac OS X version is available and soon the Linux one will be uploaded. This version will not feature a Windows download because there were no improvements for Windows this time, which is the opposite of the last version, 3.5, which was released only for Windows. Windows users should continue with 3.5 for now.
