Description sai madhan 2022-12-01 13:20:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
In addition to Full screen view in zoom there should be options for dock and lens views as well. As zoom is an accessibility feature additional views/modes could help in providing a better experience for users with special needs

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I think I know what Lens view is, but what's Dock view? Actually, could you explain both?

I have included attachments perhaps they explain better. These features may exist as separate kwin effects but would be better if they are included under settings > Accessibility so users can set things up to their needs quickly in one place.

P.S. Screenshots were taken on Windows

Thanks! I think KMag may have some of these features, but ultimately it would probably be best pt integrate them into the KWin effect directly
