I want an option to remove the bitmap frame around the automap. Without the frame more screen is available to view the map. And I think the frame was absent in D1...

How about an option to show inventory icons only?
By default D2 somehow shows weapon info in any screen mode. So I want to use your icons for inventory and keep only default information about weapons.

I'm not sure is it a level bug or D2X-XL bug, but I hope you will be able to reproduce it. On the level 12 of d2 there is a strange narrow doorway. PyroGX just cannot pass through it.

On the savegame this doorway is right on front of the ship.

Here is two suggestions with low priority (in case you have nothing else to do):
1) in readme.txt change \"D2X-W32\" to \"D2X-XL\";
2) on the icon of d2x-xl.exe there is hardly visible \"W32\" inscription (green color), which is also may be changed to \"XL\".
