CleanMinimap

DOWNLOAD

The production archive is CleanMinimap version 1.6.1 with Interface 30300. Its changelog includes a fix for the 3.3 patch, and the addon embeds Ace3 for its saved configuration. CleanMinimap keeps the Blizzard minimap but cleans up its frame, buttons and surrounding indicators; it is not a separate map database or a full replacement such as SexyMap.

What it changes

The addon can switch between the default circular minimap and a square minimap. In square mode it replaces the normal border presentation with a compact framed area and places the zone header above it. In circular mode it restores the Blizzard-style border and zone placement. The code hides the standard zoom-in and zoom-out buttons, the world-map button and the GameTime frame, while repositioning the clock when that frame exists.

CleanMinimap also rearranges the tracking and mail indicators and removes their default background/border treatment. The options can independently show or hide the zone header, durability figure, tracking icon and mail icon. The source adds a coordinate readout to the map; clicking that readout sends the current coordinates to the supported chat destination according to the code. These are focused layout changes, not a general minimap-button manager.

Settings and practical use

Open the CleanMinimap options through the Ace3 configuration panel or its registered cmm options command. The available settings include square versus circular shape, coordinate and zone visibility, durability/tracking/mail visibility, overall minimap scale and the size of the default surrounding icons. The minimap can also be dragged, with its position stored in CleanMinimapDB.

After installing, choose the shape that fits the UI, hide only the indicators you do not need, and adjust scale and icon size. Mouse-wheel input on the minimap changes the Blizzard map zoom within the range implemented by this build. The addon does not provide themes, a custom map renderer, confirmed opacity/fade controls or a separate profile system beyond its AceDB saved configuration.

Installation

Install the supplied CleanMinimap folder under World of Warcraft\\Interface\\AddOns. Ace3 is bundled in the archive.
