smg (Screen Magnifying Glass) shows the area around the mouse cursor in a small window with magnification factor of 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8.
The program window can be resized from 100x100 to 600x480 px. It can be shown or hidden by a single click on the tray icon.
Other features include hair cross, adjustable opacity, adjustable scan rate to reduce flicker, and mouse coordinated shown in the title.
When the cursor goes into the program window it becomes completely transparent to avoid positive feedback effect and see what was hidden beneath. This allows click-through on Windows desktops.
