minimap rescale issue

[goondo]

I am trying to rescale my minimap for my private mod. So I rescaled a couple of minimap dds files, and modified the main.gui files. See attached image for what I get after all the modifications are done. Now I could re-position all the items to make it look right, but I should not have to. At most I may need to understand why I can't rescale one of the size/position settings. I was hoping that someone could provide insight as to which settings is causing this problem.

I am trying to fix the dynasty tree, but I have not been able to figure out how to increase the space between the portraits. Any ideas?

I putting the mod on the shelf for now. I am happy how far I got for 2 weeks of work (About 3 hours a day) on my first CK2 mod. Here is a link to screenshots for how far this mod has come (link).

I am pretty sure Paradox needs to allow certain hardcode/calculated offsets to be mod-able. If those become available then I should be able to fix the Dynasty/Realm tree. I am also not sure what is causing the shields to fall of the portraits in the Realm Tree view.

Here are more screenshots of additional issues.
