MidnightMap

A sleek, lightweight, and future-proof minimap overhaul. Features square/circle shapes, auto-zoom, class-colored borders, and a clutter-free "Midnight" aesthetic.

Description

MidnightMap

MidnightMap is a lightweight, standalone minimap replacement designed to modernize your World of Warcraft interface. Built strictly with modern WoW API standards, it offers a clean, memory-efficient solution for players who want a sleek UI without the bloat of heavy libraries.

Whether you are preparing for The War Within or looking ahead to Midnight, this addon provides a crisp, customizable map experience that feels native to the game.

This addon is my pride and joy, been thinking about making this since i started playing wow 20 years ago.


✨ Key Features

🎨 Visual Customization

  • Shape Shifting: Toggle instantly between a modern Square map or a classic Circle.

  • Clean aesthetic: Hide the bulky default Blizzard borders, zoom buttons, and tracking icons for a "code-only" look.

  • Class Colors: Automatically color your minimap border to match your class (e.g., Pink for Paladins, Blue for Mages).

  • Custom Borders: Adjust border thickness, transparency, and background colors to fit your UI theme perfectly.

⚙️ Functionality

  • Mousewheel Zoom: Zoom in/out smoothly using your mouse wheel.

  • Auto Zoom-Out: The map automatically resets to the default zoom level after a few seconds—never get lost looking at a zoomed-in patch of grass again.

  • Smart Calendar: Hides the Calendar button by default, but automatically shows it when you have a Pending Invite, ensuring you never miss a raid or event.

🔓 Movable Elements

  • Unlock & Drag: Fully detach the Zone Text and Clock from the map. Place them anywhere on your screen or hide them entirely for a minimalist look.

🚀 How to Use

MidnightMap works out of the box with sensible defaults. To configure it:

  1. Type /mm in chat to open the Options panel.

  2. Or navigate to Game Menu > Options > AddOns > MidnightMap.

🛠️ Options Available

  • Lock/Unlock Map: Prevent accidental dragging.

  • Hide Elements: Toggle visibility for Borders, Zone Text, and the Clock.

  • Appearance: Set custom border colors, backdrop opacity, and thickness.

  • Behavior: Adjust the Auto Zoom-out timer duration (1-10 seconds).

⚡ Performance

MidnightMap is written in pure Lua with no external dependencies (no Ace3, no LibStub). This ensures:

  • Near-zero memory usage.

  • No conflicts with other library-based addons.

  • Instant loading times.
