Magnifiqus is a screen magnifier system tray tool; once started, a floating window appears after clicking on the tray icon.
In the options you can set the visibility and size of the mouse cursor, whether to run the application at startup, the background and border colors of the window and if to keep it always on top. The zoom factor can be changed by using the mouse wheel over the window, from 1 to 5 times.
This is free and open source software. It runs on X11 but not Wayland.
