Free Minimap position / Minimap opacity
Since I really don't know, would it be possible as a design,to have the Minimap in "free mode" where you can put is through a x and y axis anywhere on your screen? Then set the opacity at whatever you want, and since there is already a setting where you cannot right click on the Minimap it wouldn't be a bother at all (you can still press left click to navigate your screen though.)
I just thought recently that it was somewhat bother some on lower right and lower left is not my cup of tea either.
