Modern mod like ALPHA MAP?
 

I used to like this mod called Alpha Map... basically it turned the world map into a boarderless popup that still allowed you to completely interact with the world and move while it was open. It had sliders on it so you could set how see through it was as well as drag points to make it bigger and smaller. Other cool things was you could make the map itself 100% transparent but Points of Interests like quest points or resource nodes (with gatherer) would be fully opaque. Another cool thing was using it as a detailed full-zone mini-map in battlegrounds.

Anyway... anyone know a cool mod sorta like that?
