Good thats what I was going for it rememberable

I'll include a definition in the description..
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dinky
din·ky adj. Informal din·ki·er, din·ki·est
1. Of small size or consequence; insignificant.

n.
Variant of dinkey.

[Probably from Scots dink, neat, trim.]

Tiny isn't the right name.. Tiny means extremely small.. I don't consider 1/4 the size extremely small..

"Insignificant" fits better?

I learned that it means small, neat, trim.. Thats why I chose it.. It's a good fit.. One of insignificant's defintions is small in size..
TinyMap is good too but imo it's not extremely small..

Truthfully I like minimap and thought it was a generic enough name.. I knew Zonx had a mod named minimap in his complete set.. No two words are closer to explaining what it does.. They have been used in countless apps and games.. I really didn't think Zonx was being serious.. Thought I'd post a message and explain why I chose it.. When I was done I noticed quib posted on the subject.. That and the word stole made me wonder if Zonx was upset and not being sarcastic.. Which I do think he was being..

If Zonx doesn't mind I would like to keep it as Minimap I don't mind slapping my name in front of it.. I'm proud of my work.. I will wait for Zonx to chime back in on Quibs original suggestion.. I'm trying not to step on any team members toes..

Edited: Added a final thought on the subject

Well, the "

" tends to denote silliness with optional sarcasm... If Zonx is offended he needs to work on his emoticons.

At any rate, this wasn't working correctly with my MookUI skin for the map, so I had to make some modifications to it and include with credit it in the Mook skin download. So it's Talyns' Minimap Plugin on that download page now. (Didn't see much point in making it a plugin add-on for a plugin skin for a mod.

)

Lol.. Either way is fine by me.. Astrocat mentioned it didn't work with the mookUI skin.. You probably made him happy today!

Edit: Boy there's a lot of smilies around..
