>>Any web app can be zoomed.

>Decent point IMO. There's a lot of native UI I have a hard time reading because it's so small. That said, I think bringing in the ability to zoom native widgets would bring in a lot of issues that HTML apps have.

Sounds like the Compiz Resize plugin, with the "stretch" option enabled: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Resize

Or maybe the Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Ezoom

It just seems like what the author describes could be easily implemented as a Compiz plugin. I mean, when it first came out, people went crazy with all sorts of plugins that were more fun than useful, but nicely showed off what the system was capable of.
