Zonx:
Actually it does need to be the same size.. When it resizes any plugins under it with a pack size of "absolute,absolute" will be resized the same amount of pixels..

So If I add a plugin that has packsize of absolute,absolute and has the same size as the map window it will resize when the plugin page is resized and actually be bigger than the map window itself. Will cause the same problems with smaller plugins in the same manner making them larger than designed when the window is shown.. Hopes that makes sense..

Why spend time ripping a version out of fetishmaps when the original plugin is now working and will be made available shortly?



Landiin:
I did a little more work on it and found a few more bugs in the plugin system.

The LeftGrouper, RightGrouper, and Frame OnHide and OnShow events were messed up. The should always be called last and they were calling Parent.TM_Plugins.On.... When it should be Parent.Parent.TM_Plugins.On....

I restructured the layout of the Plugin making it more modular and should be fairly easy to tweak the locations of controls or reskin it altogether.

However, like before, I have no idea how it works ingame.. I know it works perfectly in UIBuilder just like the last one.


Wulfgyr:
Unless the frames are really elaborate it should be pretty much work fine and look ok.

To make it look perfect:
The dockbutton and controls are custom graphics and may need to be skinned if they are out of place. They are contained in images/minimap_widgets.tga.

The locations, sizes, and styles of things can be tweaked by editing minimap_dockbuton.xml, minimap_window.xml, and minimap_title.xml.


The version I'm attaching now should be fairly skinnable..


I also added an updated plugin patch that includes the first patch and an updated skinnable_WindowElements.xml to fix the plugin events..
