+# wl-crosshair
+A crosshair overlay for wlroots compositors.
+
+A extremely stripped down version of [crossover](https://github.com/lacymorrow/crossover).
+
+Currently has no support for command line arguments or any customization.
+
+### Preview:

+### Why is it flickering when I put my cursor over it?
+In wayland, windows cannot be "click-through", so in order to still send events we "close" the window when you hover it and show it in the next frame.
