Toaw with magnify

[damezzi]

I don't know if someone already tried this, since I didn't search the forum for it. So I will share with you one useful trick I've discovered. (for windows xp. Perhaps it will work in vista, if the tool is unchanged and the shell compatible)
Just do that:
go into start menu>accessories>accessibility, click magnifying lenses and on the option window select 'start minimized' and 'invert color' boxes (I don't use the english version of windows, so I think that is it); place the lenses window on the bottom of your desktop (pull it down until it fits automatically) and close magnify. Unzip the file below into your toaw folder and run it using the '.bat' included.

I think it is much better than using very large mode, since scrolling through it is too slow. The color invertion not only makes it look technological, but also differentiates it from the map. If using widescreen, perhaps it will be better to place magnifying window on the left.
I've tried to make a simple batch (without the shell), but running a program kept interrupting it. If someone knows how, please tell.

can you post a screenshot of how it looks?

Silvanski, in fact my file don't do anything at all. It's just a batch to run the magnify tool together with toaw, so that you don't have to open both. There is still a problem when minimizing, since the magnify tool remains in place, but I think it's worth.
To see how it looks, just open the magnify tool (accessories>accessibility- the english name for it may be other), place it at the bottom of the screen (it will fit automatically) and configure it (the option screen will open automatically - if not, right click the window and choose option) to invert color. Then, just open toaw. It's window will adjust to fit with the magnifying tool if it is set to full screen.
I will try to upload a picture of it latter, but I use toaw in another computer. This is just a trick using a windows tool. I will try to figure a way to hide the magnifying window when minimizing toaw.

I tried printing a screen, but it odes not print the magnifying windows, it prints what ever is below. So I cannot show a screen. It is interesting, but it makes me dizzy, as you see something moving constantly very fast in one part of the screen.

It isn't the ideal, for sure, but I prefer it to using the very large mode. One of the main flaws with toaw interface, in my opinion, is the slow scroll of the maps. When it comes to text it is really a pain to scroll it down. If someone knows a faster way of scrolling the screen, please tell me. (apart from using the mini map)
