Question about Web Browsers and Resolution
Saturday, September 6, 2003 by Weaksid | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok, the question is, Is there a possibility to enlarge the resolution of a web page without doing a complete display change? This includes images, I know you can change your size of font in view. I use a high resolution so I seriously don't want to keep changing it when I need to look at photos that are small. What I"m looking for is a way to enlarge what I'm looking at directly on the webpage so I could even surf that way. Then return it without bothering anything else I'm using. I know there is a maginfier, but I don't want to keep using that. It's annoying.
I might already know the answer for is no. I'm up for downloading a program or a plug in or even a diffrent browser. I could even have it and don't even know.

I don't see it. I just see a test magnificator. 
Where exactly is it? and which version?

sid: as far as I know, aside from changing your display or the magnifier (which is annowung indeed), there's no way to do this. Not even with Mozilla. Don't think it's technically impossbile though, so such a tool might exist

I downloaded and checked it out. It doesn't work with browsers by what I've noticed. It allows you to change the main features of images in your computer. Example: If you have a folder of images a certain size but you want them a new size, but all of them. You will right click on the images in the folder and resize them all at once. Hmm, I might be looking for the not possible at the moment. If I knew programming, I might of been able to create my own plug-in. But I guess I just have to see what I can find or deal without it.

Ok then. What about the image toobar that comes with windows. You have to make sure the "enable image tool bar " option is checked in internet options---->advanced---->graphics. It puts a tiny toolbar top left of the graphic giving you options to save the picture, open "my pictues" folder etc. It also puts a resizer down on the bottom right of the image. Unfortunatly you can only resize to large or small

Yea, I have the tool bar and resize activated. The resize only works with graphics that are bigger then the screen. So it minimizes it to fit the screen then if you want it back to normal size, then it allows you to enlarge. That's by what I've read. Plus the box thingy doesn't usually show up since I have such a large resolution on my computer. I guess I'll just deal with it. If I get around to it, I might start studying programming and create the program. Nobody has done that yet. I already know what it will sortof deal with. I could put that on my list of ideas . Hey, thanks for your help though
