That would be nice .. then if the user has 800x600 the minimap and the
chatwindow gets a fixed sice .. then no   map or tileset will ruin it.

I use the Trident 30x30 tiles .. and I run the europe map .. then the
minimap gets huge .. if it was fixed and only grows if the screen size
is bigger, then the problem is gone.

Yes! That shouldnt be the hardest problem .. when I start up the client
everything can almost be there .. except the chat window .. and if only
the minimap stayed at the first size then I would be happy.
