You mean like the "terrain" tab on the main map? Sure, that could be 
done but then we start to erase the differences between main and 
mini-map. The mini-map is more for seeing symbolic representations so I 
suspect that's not a great idea, however it might be a good idea to only 
draw gray for prims within some vertical range around your current 
elevation.
