I Piece Read Me

iPiece 1.2 Thank you for trying iPiece by Old Jewel Software. iPiece will show a magnifier window right next to your cursor. Whenever you want to see things closer, double- click the eyeglasses icon in the menu bar and iPiece’s magnifier will appear. When you’re done with the magnifier, double-click the icon again and it will disappear until you want it back. System Requirements: iPiece requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run. It should work on any Macintosh that will support Mac OS X 10.4; however, iPiece makes use of OpenGL, so a Macintosh with a graphics card capable of supporting Quartz Extreme will be able to use iPiece much more ef- fectively. Installing iPiece: To install iPiece: • Mount the disk image labeled "iPiece". • In the disk window that appears, drag the icon labeled "iPiece" to the icon labeled “Applications” and let go. • If you want, you can move iPiece to any other folder on your hard drive. It will work from anywhere. • Eject the disk image labeled “iPiece”. Uninstalling iPiece: To uninstall iPiece: • Click the iPiece icon in the menu bar to show the settings win- dow if it’s not yet visible. • Click the button labeled “Quit” to quit iPiece. • Drag the iPiece icon to the trash. Starting iPiece: To run iPiece, simply double-click its icon in the Applica- tions folder. An icon of a pair of eyeglasses will appear immediately in the menu bar. This icon is how you will control iPiece. Turning On Magnification: To turn on the magnifier window: • Start iPiece if it hasn’t started already. • Double-click the iPiece icon in the menu bar. iPiece’s magnification window will appear. Whatever is directly under the mouse will appear magnified in a win- dow nearby. As you move the mouse around, the magni- fier will follow the mouse, so whatever is under the mouse is always magnified right beside it. Turning Off Magnification: When you’re done using the magnifier, it’s very simple to turn it off until you need it again. To turn off the magnifier: • Double-click the iPiece icon in the menu bar. The magnifier will disappear. The next time you want to use it, just double-click the iPiece icon in the menu bar again. Using the Hot Keys: If you prefer to use your keyboard to control iPiece, then you can ignore the icon in the menubar and instead use globally defined hot keys. By default, you can toggle iPiece on and off using the hot key shift-control-Z. To turn on the magnifier using the keyboard: • Hold down the control and shift keys while pressing the Z key. The magnifier will appear beside the cursor. To turn the magnifier back off using the keyboard: • Hold down the control …
