[Athen] Linux Magnification

[Stephen (Alex) Marositz]

Hi Shannon

It would be helpful to know what flavor of Linux he is using but Ubuntu distros have a magnifier. Here are instructions on how to access its options. In my experience, it does not work with all desktop environments but regular Ubuntu seems to work fine as far as I can tell.

Hello,

I have a student using a Linux computer for research.  He is using the Linux magnification (he did not specify and I do not have access to the computer to identify it) and it is not working well enough for him.  What type of magnification programs are available for Linux?  I know this student uses a color contrast option too but he did not mention it so it may be working well but if you know of color contrast options as well, please share.

Thank you!
