Description


This mod changes the following:

  • Slightly increases player and waypoint icon size;
  • Replaces the waypoint icon "shadows" with thick outlines;
  • Aligns waypoint icons on a pixel grid for a cleaner render;
  • Prevents waypoint icons from resizing on mouseover — instead, icons are highlighted;

  • Removes waypoint index from hover text to reduce clutter.
