🆕 Custom scope zoom (lens)

WinGrid · published 12 Aug 2026, 17:07 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Instead of magnifying the whole screen, you can now enable a lens mode: a square "scope" appears in the center of the screen showing the zoomed area, while everything around it stays at 1x — just like a sniper scope. The lens is always centered, right where the crosshair sits, and pairs perfectly with the custom WinGrid crosshair.

How to enable: click the 🔭 button in the WinGrid toolbar (click — on/off, right-click — settings).

How to disable: click đź”­ again to turn it off.

What it does:

- Lens size 100–1200 px, background BLACK (lens on black) or TRANSPARENT (1x view around the lens)
- Works with THUMBNAIL mode and the RESIZE hotkey
- The crosshair renders above the lens and always stays on top
- Zoom factor still follows the mouse wheel while the bind is held
- Settings apply instantly, even while zooming
- Click-through lens — never blocks the mouse or steals focus
- Works with Black Bars (black edges stay around the lens)
