GNOME Shell is not compatible with Compiz plugins, so eZoom is not an option. But GNOME Shell has magnification as a feature. In order to activate it, you just need to press the accessibility icon at the top right corner of the screen and press "Zoom" entry. > > I am currently using Linux Mint 11 on my home PC, but I plan to > upgrade to Linux Mint 12 when it arrives, and since it ships with > GNOME 3 I just want to be prepared and to know what to expect. Well, GNOME 3 is really different to GNOME 2, so expect a lot of new things ;) Anyway, reading this blog entry: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851 It seems that linux mint people created a GNOME Shell extension that makes GNOME Shell looking "more traditional", I didn't test it yet, but I think that it is something to take into account. > > I appreciate your input and your help.
