Whos watching Steve Woz on TechTv Screen Savers?


"Woz's Mac tips
Woz will show us the following Apple tips:

* Using the built-in display zoom of Jaguar: You press command and option and the * key, then you press command and option and the + key to zoom in, command and option and the - key to zoom out.
* FruitMenu ($7 shareware) which allows you to tailor the Apple Menu and contextual menus to your taste.
* A fun utility which makes your screen saver your desktop, called DesktopEffects.
* Snv Desk, which creates falling snowflakes.
* Finally, he'll show us how to make a slideshow using iPhoto."

Quite nifty....
- Eric

Don't press OPTION if you want to zoom the just an open IE window.

Or would that be called "larger font"?

So, I guess Command-Option * enables/disables universal access zooming.

That's a nice little trick!

COMMAND-(+) & COMMAND-(-) work with Chimera (Navigator) as well as IE. Probably applies to other browsers too.

But as CheesePuff says it is very different to zooming the entire display. It simply increases/decreases the font size.

What is this 'Snv Desk'? I can't find mention of it anywhere. (And I don't have TechTV) Anyone know?

Possibly it's a misprint for "Sno Desktop"? Search for "Sno" on Versiontracker.
