Dunno if this is a decent place to ask, but I gotta try. Does anyone know of an addon to let you zoom the minimap with the mousewheel? SexyMap does that, but it hasn't been updated in quite a while and is a bit of a resource hog, so I'd like something else if it exists. =/

You might want to try Chinchilla. I just recently switched from SexyMap to Chinchilla and I've been very happy with it. (I really hated having to turn off all the extra border effects every time I logged in a new toon.) It feels more lightweight to me because it's not trying to do as much.

Because of Chinchilla (which I only found while trying to help a guildmate find something to replace SexyMap), I wound up stumbling across Minimap Button Frame - which is just that - a frame for your minimap buttons that you can move and resize. I've really fallen in love with the these two addons because they've cleaned up my UI quite a bit. I actually uninstalled some fubar plugins because I decided to let MBF manage them instead. I *think* it sorts them alphabetically, too, so they're not just randomly strewn around.
