Hi all.

I've been using a little (24k) program called cutomCrosshair to provide me with a static crosshair in COD. The program performs the software equivalent of using a marker to draw a dot in the center of your monitor screen; it takes a given bitmap and draws it on top of any other application you have running. As it's a stand-alone program that does not interect with whatever game you may be running, it is invisible to PB or any other hack detectors.

It's obviously a cobbled together utility; there's a bug that causes the windows pointer to flicker on top of the game window from time to time. Instead of tracking the bug down and fixing it, the programmer added a hotkey to toggle the visibility of the windows pointer.

The biggest drawback is that the crosshair doesn't disappear when you aim down the sight, so it can obscure your view. I get around this by using an "inverted v" crosshair, so when aiming down the sight it only covers the gun model, not the target.

My question: Is this cheating? Should I stop? Or make the program available to all? The website I got it from has since vanished.

What say you all?
