docked mode

About this tag
Docked mode is a specific view option within the Windows Magnifier accessibility tool, available in Windows 10 and 11. It creates a fixed magnified area at the top of the screen while the rest of the desktop remains at normal size, offering a middle ground between full-screen and lens modes. This setup is useful for reading small text, following the cursor precisely, or zooming in without losing awareness of the overall screen layout. Users can quickly adjust zoom levels using keyboard shortcuts. However, some builds have reported issues where enabling docked mode causes the desktop process to stop and the theme to revert from Aero to Basic, requiring manual re-enablement.
