System menu of Magnifying Glass Pro

The Magnifying Glass Pro icon appears in the tasks panel, near the Windows clock, when the application is running. Clicking on this icon with the right mouse button will bring up the system menu for the program. This menu contains the primary commands and options for the program concerning both its interaction with the user and with the other applications running in the Windows environment.

Show glass. This is used to either show or hide the Glass.

Show a Command mode. This invokes the Command Mode for the Glass.

Command mode enabled. When not marked, the Command Mode is disabled for HotKeys and MouseShaking. All options are still available through direct action with the mouse on the menu.

MouseShaking enabled. This item, when marked, tells the program to track the movements of the mouse and react accordingly, toggling other features on or off when certain criteria are met.

Auto-Switch Profiles on the Targets. By this item, Auto-Switcher may be switched on or off.

Switch to Profile. With this menu, it is possible to manually change to a different Profile, regardless of what program is under the cursor or caret. Note that, if Auto-Switcher is active, it effectively takes precedence over this setting, as it resets the chosen Profile instantly when it detects a programmed Target/Profile combination. Therefore, to manually switch between Profiles, first disable Auto-Swither.

Note that there are several other settings that may be made in the list of Targets to vary their operaition.

Options main dialog. This invokes the main window of the Magnifying Glass Pro application.

Help. Brings up the Help file.

Exit. Returns the user to the mundane and boring world of 1x …. That is, it exits the program!
