Hi
No I have not tried it but I will :)
I see it supports Windows which is good since I do not have a Linux
Desktop installation at this time.
I will test it and compare it to Supernova which I'm using now.
You can have a look at the authors of Dolphin to see what I'm talking about.

You can also download a trial version and test it.
I would love to give feedback, help developing the software.
But first of all I need to test the software and compare it to
Supernova, but I can tell you some features that are important to me and
my vision:
- Fullscreen magnifier
- Focus tracking, mouse tracking, keyboard tracking and caret tracking.
- The ability to switch between High Contrast (White Text on Black
background) on the fly.
In Supernova I can switch between these High Contrast and regular
Windows Colours just by pressing Ctrl+0 (numpad 0).
