Consider attaching a screenshot below to help describe your issue (Attach directly, do not link to other websites)
What version of the addon are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)
SexyMaps 10.0.3
ElvUi 12.99
Do you have an error log of what happened?
no
Any additional information? (example: WoW language if not English)
I have reported it to ElvUi. I was just reporting it to you too.
Do you have any reference / link for this?
Report it to ElvUI. This isn't a minimap icon, it isn't supposed to be a minimap icon, yet they've decided to get stuck in the past, potentially confusing new WoW players that install their UI.
Here are some implementation suggestions for them instead of the current questionable implementation:
- Mimic the Bartender addon and give users a dedicated mover for the button so they can place it anywhere.
- Implement their own version of the icon that is in theme/style with the rest of their UI customization.
- Implement it using a DataBroker plugin, that way LibDBIcon would make a minimap icon for it anyway.
Alternatively if they want to stick with the current method, it needs to be fixed on their end to set the parent to the Minimap, not the Minimap backdrop. I have no plans to add custom code for ElvUI users, so it would be up to them to add button movement control.

hey, sorry about this. will have a fix out really soon so it will work with SexyMap again! users will have settings for placement and size as well under ElvUI's options at (Minimap > Buttons > LFG Queue). so many things have been going on with Dragonflight, that this issue was a little bit lower priority but a fix will be out (most likely today). sorry again for the trouble! ๐ผ
Awesome news, thanks! What will be the default behavior?
released an update on our side, so it should be good with SexyMap now. default behavior expects our minimap and actionbars to be on, when our minimap is off but the actionbars are on, it will place it on the minimap at the same location of their settings (so where it would be on our minimap) but the placement and scale can be adjusted in ElvUI's options at (Minimap > Buttons > LFG Queue) even with the minimap disabled.
ElvUI adding a mover later on is not off the table but with supporting classic clients, it was easier to just keep it on the minimap for now. the way bartender handles it is definitely better and less confusing to users. sorry again for this problem! ๐ผ
Is it not possible that not everyone actually turns off the ElvUI minimap prior to installing a separate addon? Not sure if that's a situation that might come up. Or how the conflicts would play out.
An independent mover would definitely be good news!
