Summary0004115: [Feature Request] Ability to change the Crosshair color
DescriptionReferencing 2 older threads:
2016: Crosshair color & size - update? (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=14597)
2013: Setup for Crosshair (http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=3722)

This would be a nice customization option.
 
Usecase: if the user has setup their background to be a lighter neutral color it's difficult to see the crosshair

Case in point:
(see screenshot below)

Workaround: obviously to change the background color (but this is not an ideal solution hence the Feature Request)
