Minimap picture

How do I change my minimap picture so that its not of my map (a real picture). I've seen it done before, like in the map Tetris. Do I just add a pic to my map, or is it more complicated? Help is appreciated.

Not too hard. You need to know how to use WinMPQ and how to create TGAs.
Then create a 256x256 TGA (32bits RGB uncompressed). Call it "war3mapPreview.TGA" and add it to your map. It'll be used in the preview screens.
If you want to change the "in-game" minimap, then use the name: "war3mapMap.TGA" instead and remove the file "war3mapMap.blp" from your map.
