Well, I did this because I was tired of all the clutter around the minimap.
All buttons and the Slider have been completely removed.
Also I simplified the skin around the minimap.
There are now 4 different types of skins for the minimap.
To install Shay's Simple Minimap (default skin is grey with directions)
1) Just copy folders Default and Customized into AoC Gui Folder.
Default is - C:\Program Files\Funcom\Age of Conan\cd_image\Gui.
To install Shay's Simple Minimap with a different skin.
1) Select the Border look folder that you want to use.
2) Rename Folder to "Default"
3) Open AoC Gui Folder
Default is - C:\Program Files\Funcom\Age of Conan\cd_image\Gui
4) Copy both folders (Default and Customized).
5) Start AoC and enjoy.
For those with trouble with installation the default skin for the UI is now the grey one with Directions.
Follow the individual addon's installation instructions.
