Both scripts basically find an image with the name Crosshair.png in the same folder as the script and render it on top of all your Windows.

The first script is simpler and doesn't require an external library, but can't handle partial transparency (i.e: either full transparency or none) and might require you to change transparency color, depending on your crosshair color (by default Blue is treated as transparent).
The second script uses GDI+ to render partial transparency and doesn't need any changes regardless of crosshair color. GDI+ can be found here (put the script in the same folder).
Overall, I'd recommend using the second version if you can get it working.

Any .png image can be used as a crosshair. Just have fun with your image editor. I recommend Green or White for crosshair color due to the nature of RGB pixel-structures in modern screens.
Note: Make sure your crosshair image dimensions are divisible by 2, otherwise it won't be perfectly centered, because the number of pixels in standard resolutions are divisible by 2 in both the vertical and horizontal axis.

To add a toggle for enabling/disabling the crosshair, add this code to the end of the script (works with both scripts):

global showCrosshair := true

<^>!I:: ; AltGr+I to toggle crosshair
	showCrosshair := !showCrosshair
	if (showCrosshair)
		Gui, Show, NA ; Show window without activating it
	else
		Gui, Show, hide
return

It's almost perfect, I would just change the following line:

Gui, -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow +LastFound +OwnDialogs +E0x80000 +HwndCHhwnd

If we add +E0x20 the crosshair becomes click-through!

Gui, -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow +LastFound +OwnDialogs +E0x80000 +HwndCHhwnd +E0x20

I made it to detect the game with these additions and its toggles off automatically when alt tabbing or closing game.
