The difference between cyan (ownership color) and green (avatar color) makes in hard to see avatars in regions where you have lots of builds, which of course is the very area you want to monitor. I propose ownership color be changed to a color that contrasts with "avatar green".

I know someone made a picture to replace the existing one that shows the avatar dots. I'm sure you can change the color on that.

However, there are various other problems with the cyan that (as a non-land owner) I don't remember off the top of my head.

You can change the colors of the dots but not the T or inverted T for avatars above and below you. I think both colors should be parameters in an INI file and default to something with more contrast.

Totally agree with this...submitted proposal on the same lines myself (prop. 1096).

I think in addition to (or instead of) different coloring, there should be the option to show/hide any and all features on the mini-map similarly to how the full size map works. With this option you could easily hide the objects you own (basically just have them revert to the darker coloring of non-owned objects)...while this is handy if you misplace something, it is not necessary to have showing all the time.
