Any way to adjust position of slide out compass in 2.0?

Occasionally in the heat of battle, if my mouse pointer has moved ever so slightly to the right of the Fire button, the enhanced compass slides into view, obscuring the button. The time it takes to move the mouse so the compass retracts, then more caustiously move back to the Fire button and press it doesn't seem like much, but can mean the difference in an eel going where it does the most damage or not.

I could use the keyboard instead of the Fire button, but I prefer the onscreen interactives. The enhanced compass is fantastic, but it would be nice if it were a little more separated from the crucial and time-sensitive Fire button.

Probably best (and easiest) for me just to be more careful. On close inspection, it looks like I must've been letting the cursor contact the right hand border of the screen, which gives me around a half inch margin to the right of the Fire button.

find these 2 entries in menu_1024_768:

[G3F I337]
Name=FLB Sale`s 6 Anzeigen, Kompass
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F0C0000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=678,476,344,344
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
HorizSlide=344

[G3F I338]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010020; 0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=678,476,344,344
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
HorizSlide=344

change to (you can copy and paste over)

This puts the compass a bit higher and out of the way of the fire button.
Make a backup in case there is a problem.
