minimap icons

Hello all.

Since patch 3.1 my minimap icons are tiny, and i mean realy reeeeaaally tiny.
With the icons i mean the tracking dots, quest marks, other party members, ect.
I am using basicminimap and disabling that doesn't seem to help so i don't think its that addon causing it.
I cant for the live of me find out if this is addon related or just patch 3.1 related.
I just know that it is very extremely annoying.
Anyone know how to fix it? or knows of an addon to replace the icons and make them bigger?

greets
marydoll

I recall reading somewhere that this is a change to the way the blips are displayed on the minimap (i.e. it's a patch thing).

From what I read the size of the blips is now dependent on the how zoomed in (or out) your minimap is and the scale of your UI.

EDIT: Just checked my minimap in-game and the zoomlevel doesn't seem to affect the size.

Yeah, it's based on UI/minimap scale. There is no way to change the scale of the blips by themselves. You'll have to either live with it or increase the scale of your UI or minimap.

Completely ripped from Chinchilla
Code:
        local blipScale = 1.7

	Minimap:SetWidth(Minimap:GetWidth() / blipScale)
	Minimap:SetHeight(Minimap:GetHeight() / blipScale)
	Minimap:SetScale(blipScale)
	for _, v in ipairs { Minimap:GetChildren() } do
		v:SetScale(1 / blipScale)
	end

	MinimapCluster:SetScale(1)
Change blipScale to whatever you like, 1.7 seems to be what it was prior to 3.1.
