Alternative crosshair?

[Mousikos]

Yo. I currently use and like the red dot...... except it is hard to see across certain textures. It's like overlay, that changes with the background, rather than an opaque red dot on my screen. Is there an alternative dot crosshair out there or is there anyway to get rid of the overlay?

Yes it can be done in two ways and the most easy for you and anyone else is just to convert the red_dot.png from 24bpp to 32bpp, that is, you need to add the alpha channel. How? Well, in Gimp, open up red_dot.png, select menu Colors->Color to Alpha, select black color, save as png and that's it.

Thanks that fixed it. Had to move my xhair size up to 20 instead of 15, but it doesn't disappear anymore. Thanks! Just curious though, how did you know what to do?
