About this addon
What it does
✨ MidnightMap V2
MidnightMap started as a simple project to clean up the default World of Warcraft minimap.
V2 has grown into something much more.
Underneath the interface is a modular runtime with dedicated systems for appearance, themes, movement, visibility, minimap elements, zoom, calendar integration and addon-button management.
The result is a minimap that remains lightweight while offering considerably deeper customization.
🎨 Complete Appearance Control
Build a minimap that actually matches your UI.
Circle or Square
Switch instantly between:
- Classic Circle
- Pixel-clean Square
Both shapes use the same V2 Appearance Engine, so your colors, borders, opacity and themes remain consistent when switching between them.
Custom Borders
Control:
- Border thickness
- Border opacity
- Custom border color
- Class-colored borders
- Theme-controlled borders
Changes are applied live without requiring /reload.
Background Customization
Fine-tune the minimap background with:
- Custom RGB colors
- Transparency
- Theme integration
🌙 Midnight Theme Engine
MidnightMap includes its own theme system designed to integrate with the wider Midnight addon family.
Built-in themes include:
- Midnight Razor
- Midnight Dark
- Midnight Classic
You can let MidnightMap use its own local theme or follow the active MidnightShared global theme for a consistent appearance across supported Midnight addons.
Theme Studio
The new Theme Studio provides:
- Visual theme presets
- Global or local theme control
- Live appearance updates
- Theme-aware configuration UI
- Live minimap preview
- Custom appearance overrides
Choose a preset and then customize it to make the minimap your own.
🎨 Midnight Color Editor
MidnightMap doesn't rely on Blizzard's standard color-picker interface.
V2 includes a custom Midnight-styled color editor with:
- RGB controls
- HEX color input
- Live color preview
- Border transparency
- Background transparency
- Live minimap updates
- Revert / Cancel controls
- Movable color-picker window
- Saved window positioning
See your changes as you make them.
No /reload.
🗺️ Minimap Controls
Clean up the Blizzard minimap while keeping the functionality you need.
Control the visibility of:
- Blizzard minimap artwork
- Zone text
- Clock
- Tracking button
- Addon compartment
- Top border
- Calendar indicator
The minimap itself can also be freely positioned and locked when you're finished.
🔍 Mousewheel Zoom
Use the mouse wheel directly over the minimap to zoom in and out.
Auto Zoom Reset
Optionally let MidnightMap automatically restore your normal zoom level after a configurable delay.
No more accidentally leaving the minimap zoomed all the way in.
📅 Smart Calendar
MidnightMap can keep the Calendar button hidden during normal gameplay while automatically making it available when you have a pending calendar invitation.
Clean when you don't need it.
Visible when you do.
📍 Movable Elements
Unlock supported minimap elements and position them independently.
Currently supported:
- Zone Text
- Clock
Positions are saved automatically and restored when you log in.
🧩 Button Manager V2
MidnightMap includes a dedicated system for managing third-party addon minimap buttons.
The Button Manager can:
- Discover supported minimap buttons
- Collect them into a clean button bar
- Reposition the bar
- Change button size
- Lock the bar
- Auto-hide the bar
- Exclude selected buttons
The V2 compatibility layer also includes special handling for protected, forbidden and masked textures to improve compatibility with modern WoW addons.
⚡ Built for Midnight
MidnightMap V2 has been reorganized around a modular architecture rather than one large minimap script.
Dedicated systems handle:
- Appearance
- Shape
- Themes
- Movement
- Visibility
- Elements
- Zoom
- Calendar
- Launcher
- Button management
- Compatibility
- Refresh handling
This allows individual parts of the minimap to update without unnecessarily rebuilding everything else.
The goal is simple:
Keep MidnightMap responsive, maintainable and lightweight as it grows.
⚙️ Configuration
Open MidnightMap with:
/mm
The V2 configuration interface contains dedicated pages for:
- General
- Appearance
- Theme
- Elements
- Buttons
- Advanced
- About
Most appearance and layout changes happen immediately.
No reload required.
🌌 Part of the Midnight UI Family
MidnightMap is being developed as part of the broader Midnight addon ecosystem, with a shared visual language and architecture across supported Midnight addons.
The long-term goal is simple:
One design language. One consistent experience. Multiple independent addons.
Use only the Midnight addons you want while keeping a cohesive interface.
❤️ About MidnightMap
MidnightMap is a personal project I've wanted to create since I started playing World of Warcraft nearly 20 years ago.
What began as an idea for a cleaner minimap has gradually turned into one of my favorite projects to work on.
V2 represents the direction I always wanted for it: lightweight underneath, deeply customizable when you want it, and designed to feel like a natural part of World of Warcraft.
