    Hi, I would like to see an option on mini map to turn food dispensers icons (and others) on and off, also shrines could be more graphical less pixelated. Really hard to see them between all those portals. Heck even show doors can be useful, I've missed allot of rooms since portals are cleverly hiding those empty parts of the wall which are doors :p

    Have you ever found yourself thinking "where's that food dispenser, I need cheese, I know it was here somewhere"
    Yea :(

    Can we hope for something like this in the future :)

    It would be neat if there were filters for what you wanted to see on the minimap.

    Personally, I would like to see larger size options. I play on a 46" TV that's 7' away. Even at it's largest setting it's difficult for me to see certain details. Someone once said that there are little black dots to indicate where doorways are. I had no idea at the time!

    But I wouldn't want to have to use the "bigger" and "smaller" buttons all the time. While I play I keep the map one size smaller than the maximum size. Once in a while I would like to be able to look at the map at a size which larger than the maximum, but I don't want to have to click those tiny buttons multiple times when I do this. Ideally, players would be able to double-click anywhere on the map to make it full screen, then double-click is again to return it to its previous size.

    Perhaps an advanced UI with filters could be shown on the full-screen map. Which also could include lines connecting teleporters you've been through.

    Also, the icons for Uberchests should indicate three states: locked, unlocked, and opened. It's a pain when you flip a switch and it unlocks the fourth Uberchest on the level and you realize you forgot which ones you've already looted. You have to go to each one until you find the one you just unlocked.

    The ability to put markers on the map would be awesome. I've found that some floors have 3 shops and I'll waste a good 5 minutes or more wandering around to them all looking for that one item I was too poor to buy earlier. I find it would make remembering where things are easier and kind of falls under your suggestion.

    I n a related thing, I would like to see the minimap as a separate window that is resizable. But that is probably like wishing for a pot of gold to appear at my feet. :)
