Users' Challenge
Today's Windows® based notebooks and computer displays
are capable of much higher resolution. They're
designed to show as much as 4 times the amount of
information on the same size screens as before. The
advantage is more information can be shown at once,
images look more like photographs, graphics are much
sharper and better defined. The trade-off is
everything is shrunk in size to fit on the screen
including icons, menus, and application tools which
make it more difficult to navigate and read menu
items. Think of the newer high-resolution displays
like your daily newspaper having 4 times as many
columns as before - more information, but more
challenging to read.
Solution
Liquid View bridges all the benefits of high-
resolution with better legibility of Windows interface
elements. Liquid View allows a user to scale the size
of icons, menus, and application tools independent of
the application window without changing the display
resolution. The result is icons are more distinctive,
menus are easier to read, and tools are simpler to
navigate without reducing the amount of information
displayed on the screen. Liquid View does not scale
bit mapped images or graphics so they will always look
their best.
How It Works
Liquid View is a software utility that manipulates the
display registers and preference settings within the
Windows operating system. This utility manages a
tightly coupled relationship between icons, text, and
application tools producing 11 different scaling
values that allow a user to select the "best fit" for
their viewing requirements. With the touch of a button
in the Liquid View interface, the screen will
immediately scale - it's that simple!
