I would like shift-click the minimap to bring it up like double or triple size.

in either size, I'd like it to draw a small but visually distinct border around itself to set it off from the room better.

You know, now that the subject's come up--I'd love it if the minimap had some indicator for whether a room is cleared or not. It's kind of always needed it: while the "floor is red/floor is white" is useful when you can see the floor, it's no help at all in those tar-filled rooms, or rooms where the entire floor is open-gate to keep a queen from spawning, and so on.

I noticed it all the more in the "Oremite Breeding Grounds" level, where, because oremites appear in green on the minimap, most of the rooms had no red/white floor at all, making the rooms entirely identical before and after clearing.

Indeed. Perhaps the little box around the current room in should change color instead of the room. Or there could be tooltips on hover.
