Crosshair Studio
A clean, click-through crosshair overlay you can tune without leaving the game.
Crosshair Studio draws a transparent reticle at the center of your screen and gives you a full editor for its shape, size, color, outline, glow, and behavior. It is purely cosmetic: it does not read game memory, control recoil, or touch game files.
Highlights
- Five shapes: Plus, Dot, T, Circle, and X.
- Clean shapes: Circle is a true vector ring, and X uses continuous diagonal geometry, so neither reads as a chain of blocks.
- Transparent by design: no background panel is drawn. Only the crosshair appears on screen.
- Full editor in Rebind: color, outline color and width, glow, center gap, arm length, thickness, dot size and shape, opacity, and X/Y offset.
- Four saved profiles: build one crosshair per game and switch instantly.
- Toggle or hold: use F12 as a toggle, or hold F12 to show the reticle only while the key is down.
- ADS behavior: keep the reticle normal, compact it, or hide it while right mouse is held.
- Cosmetic input bloom: the center gap opens slightly while moving, jumping, or firing. This is visual feedback, not real weapon spread.
- Never blocks input: hotkeys and ADS detection use passive observers, so the game keeps every key and mouse event.
- Preview on edit: if you hid the reticle, opening the editor or changing a setting brings it back automatically in Toggle mode.
- Settings persist: visibility, profiles, and the last profile are restored automatically.
Quick Start
- Install Crosshair Studio from Rebind.
- Approve the overlay-related permissions Rebind requests.
- Start the script.
- Use F12 to show or hide the crosshair.
- Press Ctrl+F12 to open the editor menu.
- Pick a preset, tune it, then save it to a profile.
The default reticle is a green Plus crosshair with a black outline.
On Windows, Rebind overlays need borderless or windowed fullscreen. Exclusive fullscreen hides them.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F12 | Toggle the crosshair. In Hold mode, hold F12 to show it. |
| Ctrl+F12 | Open or close the Crosshair Studio editor. |
| Alt+F12 | Cycle through saved profiles. |
The combos follow the configured Toggle / editor key. The editor is always Ctrl + that key, and profile cycling is Alt + that key.
If F12 is a screenshot key in your game, change the toggle key in Rebind's Options → Crosshair Studio panel.
Editor
Open the editor with Ctrl+F12, or use the Crosshair Studio panel in Rebind's Options tab.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Shape | Plus, Dot, T, Circle, or X. |
| Color | Main reticle color. |

| Toggle key | Changes F12 and its Ctrl/Alt combinations. |
The editor menu also has presets, profile save/load, profile cycling, reset, and a help screen.
Transparency
- Crosshair Studio draws no background; the area around the reticle stays fully transparent.
- Opacity affects the whole crosshair.
0makes it invisible,0.95is the default, and1is fully opaque. - Advanced users can add alpha directly to a color with
#RRGGBBAA. For example,#a5e63c80is the default green at roughly 50% alpha.
Profiles
There are four manual profile slots. A typical setup:
- Open the editor with Ctrl+F12.
- Tune the crosshair.
- Choose Save to profile 1.
- Tune a different look and save it to profile 2.
- Switch with Alt+F12 or Load profile.
Profiles are manual only. Crosshair Studio does not auto-detect games or change profiles based on the foreground window.
Compatibility
- Rebind 3.9.0 or newer.
- Windows or macOS where Rebind overlays are supported.
- Works over borderless or windowed fullscreen games.
- Exclusive fullscreen hides Rebind overlays. Switch the game to borderless or windowed mode.
- Rebind overlays are click-through and stay out of normal Windows recordings and OBS captures.
Some games and anti-cheat policies restrict external overlays. Check the rules for the game you play before using any overlay.
Troubleshooting
The crosshair is invisible
- Press F12 once. The reticle may have been toggled off.
- Check Activation. If it is set to Hold, hold F12 instead of tapping it.
- Check Opacity. A value of
0is fully transparent. - Make sure the script is running and Show on start is enabled.
- If the game is in exclusive fullscreen, switch to borderless or windowed.
- In Toggle mode, opening the editor or changing a setting now re-shows the reticle automatically.
The hotkey does not work
F12 may be reserved by the game or another app. Change Toggle / editor key in the Crosshair Studio options.
The crosshair appears in the game but not in recordings
That is expected. Rebind overlays are excluded from normal Windows recordings and OBS.
The crosshair is too thick or too faint
Lower Thickness and Outline width, or adjust Opacity and Glow.
