minimap quest giver icons

my minimap quest giver icons have become a lot smaller since the upgrade. is there a fix i am missing that will increase the size? i am not talking about the carbonite questgivers, just the minimap ones

It's like that for everyone. Particularly annoying since the yellow dots for tracked nodes are tiny.

Best way I've found to offset it is by using SexyMap and its scale option to set it to 1.3 times the size of the original minimap.

They don't seem much smaller to me. Try left clicking the "Minimap icon/dots scale" line on the Map Minimap page of the Options window and entering a 1.5.

The default of 1 looks fine to me.

No, the Carbonite ones are fine, but the Blizzard icons have definately been reduced in size. That's what we were discussing.

Hmm, that is odd - mine are significantly reduced. They're approximately one half of the size they were before the 3.2 patch.

Going to check if it changes when I adjust the UI scale in the Blizzard video options.

Update: Yep, setting UI scale closer to "High" makes the minimap icons bigger. However, I can't tell if they're reduced compared to what they were before, or if it's just the icons closer to "Low", which I use, that have been significantly reduced in size.

I have Use UI Scale off, which turns out to be 90%, which is 10 notches below High (100%).
