Pro tip: Using paint.net layers to add a minimap to old games

I was messing with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 again last month and got tired of squinting at the tiny minimap. My buddy said to try paint.net (free btw) and just overlay a transparent png on the screen. I made a simple border and a see through grid in like 20 minutes. Now I can track enemy movement way easier without modding any game files. Anyone else do simple image edits like this for older titles?

I mean, I kinda feel like that ruins the original look of the game though.
