Summary	0004115: [Feature Request] Ability to change the Crosshair color
Description	Referencing 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)
