Text zoom and full zoom selectively
Stanimir Stamenkov
bothering the default full zoom? It is all right if the solution
provides full zoom while the default is text zoom. I just want to
have text zoom and full zoom separately without the need to
constantly change the application wide setting.

Have you tried the Windows Magnifier, under Accessories | Accessibility?
It'll show you magnified text in a small pane, following the cursor
around, while leaving the main pane unaffected. If you like it, set a
global keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off.

Hi Stanimir,
Firefox itself will allow to to choose, but wouldn't be what you want.
browser.zoom.full True(default)/False
browser.zoom.siteSpecific True(default)/False
Ctrl++ (zoom in), Ctrl+- (zoom out), Ctrl+0 (return to normal)
Image Zoom will selectively zoom a single image, so combined with any
other method of zooming probably fulfills your need.
Image Zoom, Right click on an image and select a zoom option from the
popup menu, or, hold down the right mouse button in combination
with the mouse wheel to zoom in or out on a single image image.
(Compatible with "Mouse Zoom"
http://imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net/
Mouse Zoom, Zoom all text and images on page with the mouse. Hold the right
mouse button and turn the mouse wheel to zoom in/out. Hold the right mouse
button and click left to reset to normal font size. [Options]. Compatible with
Firefox's own text zoom (Ctrl+0, Ctrl++, Ctrl+-) controls. [options]
Displays zoom level when changing.

AutoHide, Hide/See the toolbars of your choice in Full Screen (F11/context) or
Shift+F11 for Full Window mode. differences from Firefox because you can
choose which toolbars to show or hide, and it offer Full Window mode
A couple of zoom searches from the Addons site search bar (May show old extensions)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't really need the Windows
Magnifier. I need a convenient way to zoom just text (like with
SeaMonkey 1/Firefox 2) without changing the global zoom setting of full
zoom vs. text zoom (SeaMonkey 2/Firefox 3), i.e. I would like to have
some of the pages zoomed using full zoom and some of the pages having
just the text enlarged (and may be some using a combination of the two
methods). This is mainly for testing the styling and layout of the
pages and how it behaves in face of text size changes beyond the author
control, not that I personally need more accessibility aids.

Thank you for providing such a comprehensive list of options (see the
original message for all of them). I was hoping the Mouse Zoom
extension will give me what I want but it just provides an alternative
input for the global zoom option - either full zoom or text only zoom.
What I really want is having both zoom methods available at the same time.

You can try this:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#nosquint
Note that if you use prefbar, Increase Font and Decrease Font will pick up
your nosquint settings.
Note to all seamonkey rainmakers: there must be a way of getting this and
the many other extensions on this page
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html
onto addons.mozilla.org. These are important extensions that in many cases
(such as nosquint) greatly increase ease of use of seamonkey. Unfortunately,
most of the user base probably can't find them.

"Nosquint" is available at addons, as far as I can tell all of the modified addons
mentioned are simply addons that have been modified to work with SeaMonkey
NoSquint :: Add-ons for Firefox
"NoSquint allows you to adjust the text-only and full-page (both text and images)
zoom levels as well as color settings both globally (for all sites) and per site. "
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592
Like those built-in to Firefox this appears to apply on a per site basis only during
the current session You will have to check that out yourself, I've never used it.
In the reply to Paul B. Gallagher, Stanimir wants to be able to switch between
text-only and full-page modes per site. Can't tell from the description of "Nosquint"
if that is what it is describing or not.

K-Meleon (a Gecko-based browser) has both modes of zoom
available at the same time.

Did you try to search for nosquint, or no squint, at addons? I got nothing
under Seamonkey, only Firefox. The nosquint at the xsidebar has been tweaked
to install in Seamonkey, as far as I can figure out. Maybe it's a search
problem but I don't think so.

If I was unsure if it was nosquint or no squint, then I would use
no.squint or no-squint when searching at Google. You don't have that
luxary when using the Addons provided search.
Okay, I normally do not use the Addons provided search, though I do have a
bookmarklet "addons:s" for that as well. The one I used for nosquint was
"addons:" which is a Google search at addons.
The "addons:s" search is for Firefox, I find it really only much good if you know the
name of the addon, so it could have been used.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=%s&status=4&show=50
You can find 95% of my bookmarklets in the k.html file
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/lessons/intro/k.html
linked from
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/kws.htm
I will be redoing the k.html file at least once this month in time for a
short presentation at Trenton Computer Festival.

Let's deal with substance, not geeky minutia, OK? There is no Seamonkey
nosquint at addons, at least I haven't found it and you haven't found it.
It's OK to be dismissive as you were in your initial reply, but the way that
works is that first you need to know what you are talking about.

You pointed to a page which specifically states it is addons modified
for use on SeaMonkeyv
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#nosquint
and I saw nothing that indicated the Original Poster was looking for
solution to use with SeaMonkey. Okay I see that there were two newgroups
that he posted to mozilla.support.seamonkey,mozilla.support.firefox
so you saw it from one newsgroup and I saw it from the Firefox newsgroup.
Puts a whole different meaning on the question.

NoSquint rocks. I wished it was updated more often though.

I want it for both Firefox and SeaMonkey. I'm a SeaMonkey user, but I'm
testing with Firefox various things. I've posted to both groups as if
there's a Firefox solution it could probably be applied/adapted to
SeaMonkey, too.
