How to Change Transparent Crosshair for CSS in CFG
Changes that you make to give yourself an edge when playing "Counter-Strike: Source" (CSS) online can make the difference between winning and losing a match. By making your crosshair transparent, you can increase your chances of landing a head shot on an enemy from across the map. You can alter your crosshair transparency by creating and uploading a special crosshair configuration (CFG) file to the "Counter-Strike: Source" CFG directory.
