What’s This About?

CrossHairs is a very small program/utility that will display a vertical and horizontal line on the monitor at the mouse cursor position. It can be set to be static at the original position or to follow the mouse position.

Why Would You Want It?

CrossHair has 5 obvious functions:

1. As an aid to lining up graphics and text for page layouts
2. As an aid to estimating values on graphs and charts
3. To pinpoint the mouse cursor position on "busy" screens or difficult backgrounds
4. As an aid to people with impaired vision
5. To help young children spot the mouse position

I have found it very useful for all of the first 3 items over the past couple of years, particular 1 & 2. I am also sure it will be a great help to people with impaired vision or for children.
