I need a "zoom tool" for the entire screen because I want to control a bar with the mouse (time bar, like youtube) from an web-based audio player. The problem is that this player is too small and when I try to zoom-in (with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel), all characters, pictures are zoomed in, but not the Audio Player (it keeps its size).
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. I have Ubuntu 14.04 with a Nvidia and I use the audio player normally within Firefox.
You can use Compiz Settings Manager for this.
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Run it from the Dash and navigate to Enhanced Zoom Desktop.
Enable it by putting the tick. You can put the keys bindings for Zooming in and Zooming out.
For Ubuntu 16.04
Press Ctrl + Alt + T
The terminal opens, type
apt install compizconfig-settings-manager
Go to Ubuntu icon on Top Left corner of desktop
Click on it and type compiz
Click on the compiz icon that appers in the window
The following window opens:
