In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew Richards, Chad Beeder and Larry Larsen walk you through Sysinternals ZoomIt. ZoomIt is a screen zoom and annotation tool for technical presentations that include application demonstrations. ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with customizable hotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while zoomed, and draw on the zoomed image.

Great show! Yes, you can fully customize the break timer background, including making the background transparent. BTW you can also type when you're in drawing mode.

I use ZoomIt in combination with the OneNote screen grabber (winkey-s). The two put together are VERY useful in day-to-day screen annotations, etc... I have found myself using it more for this type of functionality than actual zooming
