First add-on that I’ve actually felt was worth uploading :slight_smile:

Hi, could you add the link to the add-on here?

Sure, thanks.

Could you update it for the newer versions and also make it where when you let go of ctrl+c it turns off?

Hi @DoctorToBeIn23 ,

Apologies that it took so long, but I have published a new version that when you release Alt + C it will turn off: Anki magnifying glass mouse cursor v2 - AnkiWeb

Thanks

Exactly which configs do we change to increase the magnification?

Hi DoctorToBe,

If you have the newest version of the add-on, the default Config file should like this (you can edit this from inside Anki from the Config button after selecting the add-on):

{
“delay to turn off zoom mouse (milliseconds)”: 500,
“larger square side length (pixels)”: 400,
“negative-x crosshair length (pixels)”: 5,
“negative-y crosshair length (pixels)”: 5,
“positive-x crosshair length (pixels)”: 5,
“positive-y crosshair length (pixels)”: 5,
“smaller square side length (pixels)”: 200
}

The two values that you can customize for the size of magnification are the small square length and large square length. The small square is how big the square of the screen that becomes magnified is. The large square is how big it will be after magnifying it.

After changing the settings, I recommend restarting Anki to have it load the changes.

Hope this helps,

Thanks
