Other crosshair programs offer a single style or color option, and often don't allow you to reposition them. CrossOver is a small, unintrusive crosshair overlay which has plenty of configuration options to assist with aiming and vision of your crosshair. CrossOver offers a huge improvement to many games' default crosshairs for those with colorblindness or contrast issues.
macOS 10.10+, Linux, and Windows 7+ are supported.

Position: Click and drag the crosshair to anywhere on any screen. Double-click the bullseye to center the app.
Choose Crosshair: Click the bullseye ◎ to select from tons of preloaded crosshairs. Drag an image to the window to use your own custom crosshair.
Customize settings using the "gear" icon. See Settings below.
Unlock the app to quit using Control-Alt-Shift-X, then click the close icon in the top-left corner. In Windows you can right-click on the crosshair window > Close
.
Description | Keys |
---|---|
Toggle the settings window and lock the crosshair in place | Control-Alt-Shift-X |
Move the crosshair a single pixel | Control-Alt-Shift-Arrows |
Quickly hide/show the application | Control-Alt-Shift-H |
Center the crosshair window | Control-Alt-Shift-C |
Move the crosshair to the next connected display | Control-Alt-Shift-M |
Duplicate your crosshair in a shadow window | Control-Alt-Shift-D |
Display the "About" window details | Control-Alt-Shift-A |
Reset all settings and center the window | Control-Alt-Shift-R |
Choose from over 100 real and fictional crosshairs, or use your own by dragging an image to the window. You can change the size and opacity.
The reticle is the small dot or cross at the center of the sight. You can select the shape and the color, or this can be turned off.
Choose a mouse button to use as your ADS button. The crosshair will be hidden while this button is held down.
A handful of users have reported FPS issues with certain games (#70), CrossOver should not add any FPS or latency so if you experience it, toggle this setting on or off and disable Hide on ADS
You can automatically set CrossOver to start when your system starts on your gaming PC, so you're always ready to pop heads.
By default CrossOver will automatically keep itself updated with bug fixes and improvements. You can disable this in the settings to prevent all network requests. CrossOver will only connect to GitHub to download published releases and does not send or store any personal data. I'm a solo developer and you aren't important to me 🙂 I just want to game.
See default keyboard shortcuts. All of the keybinds can be changed or disabled except for the bind to reset all settings. Click into the input and press your bind, or press Backspace or Delete to disable a bind.
Keep in mind that keybinds may conflict with other programs so be careful about what you choose. There's no real mechanism for preventing you from setting two conflicting keyinds within the app, so don't do that.
Duplicate crosshair windows use the same settings as the main window and do not support all of the features of the main window. Settings for duplicate crosshairs will not be saved and all duplicate windows will be closed if the main window is closed. Duplicate crosshairs cannot follow the mouse.
To reset all settings and binds to default, press Control-Alt-Shift-R

Currently CrossOver only works with windowed applications, use Windowed Fullscreen
mode if your game or application supports it. Windows -
Fullscreen for MacOS may have better results.
If you absolutely need to use Fullscreen
mode, or your game is not supported by crossover, there is a workaround using AutoHotKey.
Doesn't work with some games #47, and causes FPS issues in other cases
Install AutoHotKey and run this script with it (save it as script.ahk
and double-click it):
space::Winset, Alwaysontop, , CrossOver
Once in-game, pressing space should put the crosshair over the screen, even in fullscreen mode.

Check your desktop environment. CrossOver may not work on KDE, try GNOME if you experience issues.
An extra big thanks to the crosshair providers, as this wouldn't be possible without them:
