I think this could be done with a plasmoid on a panel. I haven't used KMag nor made \
any plasmoids, yet. Could it be made to work as a panel plasmoid?
I'm imagining a wide panel with most of it being the view area and some controls on a \
side. Something like this: http://postimg.org/image/tziyt7pjf/

Hi,
I sent this on 4/29/2013. but I got a message that it might be spam and I had no idea \
if it ever got to someopne at KDE.org. I am now resending it with the hope it will be \
on your "TO DO" list.
My name is George, and I am legally blind. I have what is known as macular \
degeneration. My central vision is gone, and I depend on my peripheral vision and \
the windows XP magnifier to do computer tasks. I find that a "Desktop Magnifier" DOES \
NOT work. I tried KMag, but it lacks some attributes that would help people \
afflicted with macular degeneration.
This brings me to why I contacted you. Can the KMag utility be configured to work \
similar to the windows XP magnifier? That is :
1) Always on top, with one difference: It would reduce the bounds of the Desktop \
area available for applications. This way, other running applications would be forced \
to resize to fit below the magnifier viewing area.
2) The controls and the magnified viewing area would be separate. The settings menu \
could be placed on a panel app on the taskbar or System Tray. This would ensure the \
best use of the viewable area.
I hope you have a solution to this problem, and would like to hear your thoughts on \
this matter as soon as possible. Thank you.
