How to choose a crosshair
you can keep seeing.
A good crosshair is not just visible on one screenshot. It stays readable while the background, movement and visual effects change.
Test contrast across several scenes
Cyan and bright green are useful starting points because they often separate from warm walls, shadows and character effects. White can be clean but may disappear against bright sky. There is no universal winner, so switch through every scene above.
Adjust length, thickness and gap together
A longer line is easier to reacquire but covers more of the target. A larger gap keeps the center open, while a center dot gives the eye an exact reference. Change one control at a time and check close and distant details.
Use an outline when backgrounds change quickly
An outline gives a bright crosshair a dark boundary and can preserve its shape over light scenery. If the setup starts to feel heavy, reduce line thickness before removing the outline.
Keep a readable setup long enough to learn it
Frequent changes make it difficult to build a stable visual reference. Once the crosshair survives several backgrounds, save the settings and use them consistently before making another small adjustment.
