antihero_: Since it seemed like something people wanted, here's my take on it:

Maybe I should make it shorter, skinnier, a little less opaque, a different colour etc, but it seems OK so far. I just didn't want something too intrusive like an N, or even a stylized one rotating about in the small space available.

Even if somewhere in the game it doesn't point north, it'll stay consistent enough so you can orient yourself on the minimap with it.

As a side note, I first looked into just not rotating the minimap, but that's a bigger hassle than it first appeared, for me anyway.

Chromie192: Is it possible to make a mod to stop the minimap from rotating?

antihero_: Should be possible, but more of a pain right now as I mentioned. It'd require more work and experimentation than simply not rotating it (which is easy enough to do.)

Sayne: Um any time I try to download the mod, Mediafire times out. Is the site just too busy?

Sayne: Might be something on my end, but it continues to time out. I got it to start downloading and it'll go for a minute or so at an interminably plodding pace then stop and say "The host source cannot be read."

It seems like it's just THIS file, Taller Tooltips downloaded fine.
