<div class="IPBDescription">... looking for tutorial</div> First off, search doesn't work for me or I would have done that first.
Second, i'm looking for a tutorial on how to create transparent crosshairs, like the default ones. I have a sprite-generator program to create regualr cross's, and can use that with no problem. However i've failed to find any links online on how to create actual cross's with various opacity levels in them. Thnx for help.

I'm assuming at least basic knowledge of image editing, and I don't mean MS Paint.
Set the bitmap as grayscale, but modify the last color of the palette to the color that you want the sprites to be colored as. The crosshair's transparency will be determined by the shades of gray used (black = 100% transparent), and the last color of the palette will be applied to the whole crosshair.
