Gap, size, and thickness define the practical shape of a CS2 crosshair. Color matters, but these three numbers decide how much target information stays visible around the center.

The safest adjustment path is size first, gap second, thickness last. That order changes the silhouette before adding visual weight.

Adjust size

Reduce size if the crosshair covers too much of the model; increase it if you lose the arms.

Adjust gap

Use gap to control how much space remains around the exact head position.

4

Adjust thickness last

Increase thickness for visibility, but stop before the center starts covering too much.
