how to enable zoom in LXDE?

[esbrinartot]

I've been using ubuntu for 1 year and now I installed LXDE "Lubuntu 11.10" in a netbook with low resources.

LXDE is great much faster than Ubuntu. I feel it's the perfect desktop for my netbook. Now I have almost everything ready would I have some things I would like to change.

1- How to enable the zoom? Would be nice in order to do screencast. 1 option is Compiz Enhanced Zoom video... But I don't want to install it. I want a Lightweight System... Any alternative?

2- Is it possible to have transparencies ???

My computer is an ASUS EEE 900HD. Processor 900Mhz and RAM 1Gb, card video 64Mb. So I want to do what I want with consuming as less resources as possible.

ths for your help

Zoom is already there. I too have an ASUS EeePC, but mine is a 1000H. I also have Lubuntu 11.10 installed. You can use Ctrl + and that will zoom in. Ctrl - will zoom out. Ctrl 0 will reset. Enjoy.

Rex Bouwense...

I disagree. You can do the zoom but just in the browser. When I want to Use the zoom in the desktop or somewhere else is not possible. I must install a software like compiz...

I want to zoom in order to do screencast.

I guess that I didn't read your original post as well as I thought. I was just surprised that someone else was posting on this forum so I answered before thinking. Sorry.

Nice, I suppose to ask about that but you already provide the answer. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

Hallo.

Does anybody know how to zoom in/out the desktop without the help of compiz??

best regards,
Mat

Well, I just did another search and came up with nothing that didn't involve compiz. We pay a price for wanting a light desktop. Some of us are willing to pay that price and others are not. Sorry. Perhaps someone else has a solution for you and the others.
