In the past I've used a handy utility on Windows called "CrossHair" - it brings up a crosshair over the whole screen, centered on the cursor location -see a screenshot here - http://www.cohjs.org/CrossHair.jpg.html
I downloaded it years ago, and today it's only available on archive.org.
I installed it on Wine, and it works partially but very clunky - only when the configuration window is open + active, roving version only when you continuously hold down the hotkey, and it flickers.
Anybody familiar with something like this that'd work in Lubuntu? Nothing from a search on Synaptic or the web. This page
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Magnification#Implemented_Features
appears to describe something promising but I'm relatively new to Lubuntu, and I have not found Gnomemag in Synaptic or in my installation.
Appreciate any suggestions.

I wonder if you could just switch your default cursor in your cursor theme for a 1px cross that's as wide and high as double your screen?

<- doesn't appear to be possible, max X11 cursor size is 256px according to GIMP.
