I agree. Unfortunately, WoW doesn't allow us to do any kind of texture masking. :(
WoW does allow one kind of masking, but I believe it works only with textures, and not with model frames. It applies a circular secondary alpha blend to a texture frame, masking any pixels of the original texture that were outside the circle.
I'm not sure there are any examples of this old, old function left in any of Blizzard's current code, but I'm pretty sure it was formerly used to make round icons out of square ones. (I believe it exposes the same internal function that creates the circular 2d character portraits used in unit frames.)
Noticing that the clock and compass are still occasionally appearing. These are set to Never in the options. I have to manually click on Never each time to get them to go away.

You probably have a second addon that is making them appear. Addons such as ClockFu or something.
I have a similar problem: I can't hide the minimapbuttons from the parent addons (like BT4 or Omen) if they were enabled previously, only from SexyMap. After disabling SexyMap I can hide them again.
So I found the source of my issue with SexyMap, in which the North indicator is shown fixed at the top of the map on every login and UI reload even though I have minimap rotation enabled:
When the minimap is set to a rotating minimap in the interface options (GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"), the Buttons module should apply its show/hide settings for "show compass labels" to MiniMapCompassRing rather than to MinimapNorthTag. Instead, it blindly forces MinimapNorthTag in all cases, which causes the North indicator to show even when the minimap is set to rotate.
Hmmm, my minimap buttons keep moving (and the time keeps reappearing as some previously said). I'd assume an addon conflict, but AFAIK I don't have any other addons which alter minimaps.
It doesn't have to be a minimap-related addon to move a button. For example, a clock addon (that has its own display) could have an option to show/hide the default minimap clock, and its show/hiding interferes with SexyMap's one.
Could we have an option to make the minimap cluster behave as if it hadn't been moved by an addon? Of course, this would (should) put the minimap back to its original position. I'm mainly thinking of Titan Panel's feature to adjust the minimap position, which doesn't do anything to the minimap. And ideally, move the minimap up a bit to compensate if you're hiding the location text.
Also! I'd like to be able to have _some_ minimap buttons' behavior controlled by SexyMap. That is, I'd like to for hide some of Blizzard's buttons, but other addons' buttons visibility should be controlled in respective addon.
i am running Sexyminimap 2008/11/08. I have set the "tracking button" to be shown always. The problem is that the outer border of the tracking button is shown, but not it's content (the icon showing what it is tracking).
However, For things to work out between us better, I would request some way that you can let me know when those big bad mean critters stop chasing me...
(Iunno.... maybe a way to change that really sweet blue rune border to Red while in combat? Awesome map app... I'm running in conjunction with Gathermate and Carbonite with no issues whatsoever!)
The Calendar button has an alert status for when you receive new invites. I usually have the Calendar button hidden except on mouse-over. Would it be possible to add a setting so that I can keep it hidden like this, except when it has an alert for me?

the radius thing is sorta handy, but i'm an OCD type when it comes to my layout :)
thanks :)
About coordinates:
Could we get a shift-click post to chat?
Thanks! Can't wait to see what more textures are to come :D

When I'm trying to load my main character's profile on alts, the dropdown menu for the "Copy from" drops down, but it's all blank, no profiles.
Any solution to this?

This file is more locals and koKR Locals.
Update please.
thank you.
I'll have to have a play and see.
The button 'move' only occurs on login.

i'm having a small problem with this lovely addon, in that the centre of the tracking button disappears after logout/in.
if you delete the .Lua and start fresh, it returns as normal, but log out and its gone :/
this is only affecting that tracking button tho, the calendar etc is fine ...
thanks in advance
