A reticle overlay for overwolf.
Mumble crosshair not working? A good alternative is custom desktop logo if you want to customize your crosshair hang ou.

Until the Overwolf team arrive at an official stance on overlays of thisnature, it will not be available in the app store. I have high hopes for thiseventually being accepted as there are some game-specific apps in the storethat already include similar things. Until then however...
Either clone the github repository or in your browser click the 'Download ZIP'button at the bottom of the right-side panel and then extract that zipsomewhere. Run the developer version of overwolf, open the 'Settings' window,go to 'Support' and click the 'Development Options' link. At the packageswindow, choose 'Load unpacked extension...' and navigate to the 'overlay'folder inside this repository, then click 'OK'.
Reminder: you choose the overlay folder; not the outermost folder.
This application is only visible within a game. The default command to openthe Settings window is CTRL-Shift-Backspace but this can be changed inoverwolf's settings. You simply open settings, configure your reticle, click'Hide' and you're ready to go. Your settings will persist across playsessions and you can also save profiles in case you wish to configure itdifferently in some instances. If you wish to share your current crosshairwith a friend, you can use the 'Sharing' section to export your settings to aninput box where you can then copy/paste the data to your friend. Your friendcan then copy/paste the data into the same box on his overlay and import them.
Allows you to place a cross, outline-circle, circle/square, and an image in thecenter of your screen with various customizations. You can change the opacityof the reticle, as well as the render-mode for each component of it. As far asrender modes, I recommend using geometricPrecision for circular objects andcrispEdges for rectangular ones.
Use the filesystem plugin to allow local images instead of only web URLs, andperhaps bundle a collection of desirable crosshair images.
The code was written by myself, however the concept came from another overlaywith similar but different features called 'Ultimate-Crosshair'. In fact, theonly reason I found out that Overwolf even exists is because I found thatoverlay. I encourage competition, and only want you to choose my overlay if itbetter meets your needs.
