    Chinchilla Minimap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: 2.6
    by: ckknight, Ethan Centaurai
    Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.

    Appearance
    Allows changing of blip size (useful since 3.1), border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
    Auto zoom
    Zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).
    Compass
    A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
    Coordinates
    Show your location coordinates
    Expander
    Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
    Location
    Show the name of your location more flexibly.
    Move buttons
    Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
    Ping
    Show which team-mate pinged the minimap
    Position
    Position the minimap and frames around it.
    Range circle
    Show on the minimap where your range extends to
    Show / Hide
    Show or hide various frames related to the minimap
    Tracking dots
    Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colorblindness.
    Wheel zoom
    Mousewheel to zoom the minimap

    I'm sorry to announce that I have actually quit WoW. My life is a complete mess right now and I no longer have the money nor the motivation to continue playing. In fact, I haven't played at all since June.

    I am sorry guys.

    Is it possible to include a new icon for the blizzard Focus and Target icons? It seems like the default icons are a little obnoxious; I'm looking for a way to strip them down, yet keep them distinguishable from other markers.

    Hi, Are you by any chance using the Mod MoveAnything, I know that in the past when I've moved something using it, it would make windows stick when I tried to move them with another addon. If you are try typing /move and opening the control panel, then resetting the minimap.

    Anyway it's just a guess and I hope this helps.

    Came to post about the same thing. I see the bug is already in the bug tracker and that the latest alpha in the wowace repository has options to fix it.

    I can fix this by re-enalbe and then disable the quest tracker option in Chinchilla, but it happens again if you relog/reloadui/whatever. It's kinda annoying.

    Hi
    Just grabbed this addon yesterday, I really like it. One thing though, I noticed when I logged back in after downloading it, that my minimap buttons, which were all smashed together and overlapping each other. I use Minimap button frame, and I would like to be able to continue using that along w/ chinchilla, as I really like it. Is there a way to resolve the issue between the 2 addons? I have removed and re downloaded both and the issue is still there. I disabled chinchilla, and the issue is gone. So I am sure its chinchilla, conflicting somehow, w/ MBF.

    been having a weird issue with Chinchilla. The Blizzard questing arrow wont update its position unless you open the world map. Not sure why this is happening but thought I would pass it along.

    Only just noticed this but since the patch some buttons still have borders even when the option is set to 0% opacity. Specifically this included the mail and lfg buttons.

    EDIT: Did some more testing.

    I went back through the newest releases to some 3.3.5 versions. None of them were able to hide the borders. Deleted my saved variables and again, no luck. I enabled more buttons and found the zooms, tracking and calendar buttons had visible borders. Only the BG/Arena button is affected, apparently.

    If blizzard is preventing this or you're just removing the option from Chinchilla I'll have to accept it or try fixing it with a blank .blp file if I can remember how that works.
