Dock Magnification (aka zoom)

Open optimisme opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Problem

Dock magnification (also known as dock zoom) has been removed. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that the patent "US7434177B1," which relates to the magnification of the Dock, has already expired: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7434177B1/en Therefore, the code that hides this functionality to avoid legal issues appears to be unnecessary now.

Proposal

I am opening this issue to request that dock magnification be made available in "elementary OS." elementary OS users have had to wait patiently for years to have this functionality, which brings several advantages, including essential accessibility improvements for some visually impaired people.

I just discovered the same. Would love to see that feature back.
