Hi,

Noawadays, what you search is fully accomplished in a Debian GNU/Linux.  
If you install it using the dark theme, it will install MATE, an old but 
flexible desktop environment (old in the design but up-to-date). The 
magnification is then ensured via Compiz, which seems to contain the 
features you are searching for. Our low-vision users anyway seem happy 
with this distro we provide for us and say it has as many useful 
features as Zoomtext, and more reliable than Windows or Mac. So I 
oconsider these feedbacks positive enough to suggest you to have a look 
at this distro.

If you dont want to install a distro, see on debian how you can have 
computers with debian inside. It exists, and with all accessibility 
tools pre-installed and configured.

Note I am describing a current situation, so it is possible in the 
future, GNOME desktop itself to support the most advanced features for 
low-vision, while it is not perfect today. But it will be done I hope.
