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.
Thanks to Reddit user /u/IrisFlame for the premade library of crosshairs!

Bugs
Hidden by fullscreen apps
Currently CrossOver only works with windowed applications, use Windowed Fullscreen mode if your game or application supports it. Windows -
Sight is deformed or off by 1 pixel; App center is not "center"
Monitors use an even number of pixels, so finding a center point can be hard sometimes. Still, report any issues.
Unable to drag or move app window
Some Linux distros have experienced this issue, report your version
