Crosshairs

[VolkerH]

This is really a napari issue, but I find it really hard to place the markers pixel-perfectly accurate due to the points layer cursor.
I could zoom in a lot more, but that makes the overall workflow more cumbersome as I need to constantly zoom in and zoom out again as to quickly navigate without losing the overall overview.

I think with a one line-thine translucent cross hair that is fully transparent at the centre pixel one can place points more accurately.
The same is actually true for the points themselves, they are rather large.

Again, I realize these are all napari issues but none of these have bothered me other than in this particular context of affinder.

I think this is 100% an affinder issue and I agree that crosshairs is the natural cursor type for add mode in the points layer — it's even the icon for the mode!

[VolkerH]

wait, are you telling me there is a crosshairs-cursor already in napari and you didn't select it for affinder?

[jni]

No I am hypothesising that there exists a crosshairs cursor in Qt and we did not consider cursors carefully at all in general.
