KMag moves to KDE!

Sarang Lakare — Sat, 15 Mar 2003 06:40:46 -0000

KMagnifier is now officially part of the K Desktop Environment (KDE)!. The development of KMag has been moved to KDE's CVS. KMag is part of a new module for KE called "kdeaccessibility": http://accessibility.kde.org

KMag will be released as part of kdeaccessibility. We are working towards releasing a version for KDE 3.x of kdeaccessibility which will include KMag among other things. From KDE 3.2 onwards, kdeaccessibility and hence KMag will be included with the main KDE release.

Henceforth, report any bugs at http://bugs.kde.org or through the report bugs menu iterm under the Help menu of KMag.

If and when time permits, I will release kmag as stand alone application too. Those releases will be made on this site.

This release comes with many more improvements. KMagnifier can now show zoomed mouse cursor (although not the real cursor). The document has been re-written and is now complete. The GUI is now XML based, and now has tools to configure the toolbar and the key-board shortcuts. And finally, the code now works with both KDE2 and KDE3. Binary RPMs for Linux Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 (KDE2 & KDE3) are available.

KMag site up

kmag is an existing utility to magnify a portion of the screen to help the visually impared. It can also be used by others needing to zoom a part of the screen. It was originally written in 1998 by Michael Forster (thanks michael) for KDE1.

The aim of the project now is to port it to KDE2 and improve the interface and functionality. So look out for an initial KDE2 release soon!
