1) What is Quax?
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Quax is a desktop zooming tool intended especially for web developers, but
|
| 9 |
is very handy and friendly for newbies. There are few other tools for this
|
| 10 |
task: XMag, KMag and KZoom. All of them are full featured applications
|
| 11 |
and take some time to figure how to use them. Quax is *very* easy to use.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The only thing you need to know is to right click on Quax surface to get
|
| 14 |
the menu.
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Web developers and graphics designer need fast access so they use shortcuts.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For the moment there's no help file for Quax, but only a UNIX manual page.
|
| 19 |
This can only be read if you install Cygnus environment (GNU/UNIX under
|
| 20 |
MS Windows)
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2) How I'll install Quax?
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
To compile Quax you need a working Qt 4.4+ setup on Microsoft Windows. You
|
| 26 |
can create the Quax executable with both mingw-based setups and MSVC (tested
|
| 27 |
with 2008) based ones.
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Just open the Qt Development Prompt, go to the Quax directory and type the usual
|
| 30 |
qmake
|
| 31 |
make
|
| 32 |
commands to get quax.exe built!
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
To install Quax copy quax.exe somewhere when %PATH% variable can reach it.
|
| 35 |
For example %WINDIR%, where it can be C:\WINDOWS, C:\WINNT.
