Make 'cursor' crosshair less transparent and give us the ability to adjust the transparency to make it completely solid.

With bright lights and such, will make the cursor completely invisible and it will be hard to pick up stuff if say you are holding a larger video camera and have a flashlight toggled on.

+1 to this, I struggle a lot to see it most of the time, some opacity or scaling options would be appreciated.

I think even changing the cursor/crosshair from a white circle to a inverted colored dot that is very thick is better. When you look at a bright surface the color shifts to a inverted version which is dark, and vice versa.

If it must be white, then outline it with a black color, or fill the inside with a transparent black shading so even if the floor is super bright, the center of the cursor basically will be visible lol.

Actually I remember paying for a cheap crosshair overlay for another game is still in my steam library and it uses the game mode hud of Windows 10 to overlay it in the center.

Here's an example, I have a software called crossfire X on Steam which can be used with the Game hub built into Windows 10.

You can increase the brightness of the cursor by 500% in the settings. But It needs to go brighter then that because its still not bright enough

That brightness is useless against backgrounds and surfaces that are very bright or reflective due to the graphics tweaks or updates they push out.

And it's already 500% brightness in cursor settings, I can 'barely' see it on my ultrawide 1440p. I had to use another software to make it more visible.

I know, that is why I said "it's still not bright enough" part. But the option to make it brighter is there, it just needs to go past 500% into like 3000% or something. Or let us change the color of the cursor. Red would work best for me.

A simple color filling inside the cursor is an easy quality of life tweak, a black color works to offset the bright backgrounds.

Opacity of 0.25 is good enough on CrosshairX, but simple changing the crosshair's color to a bright red works since red isn't something you see a lot in the dark or behind a bright display or background.

Custom cursor color should be a thing imo.

[Kai]

Btw a white cursor that is 3000% bright is just a solid white alpha icon, meaning it still will blend with bright surfaces...

You need color variations in it to make it stand out. Or a bezel design that makes it look 3d.
