I know all about tf2mate's crosshair switcher but I use omphud and his custom crosshair with an added "pulse" effect so that the crosshair turns red when I hit an enemy. I play with viewmodels off for my primary secondary on nearly all of my classes and I lose track of what weapon I have out so I've been looking for a way to keep the style of crosshair (a cross) and simply make it yellow instead of green when I switch to my secondary. Pressing Q when I have my secondary or melee out switches to my primary. Pressing Q when I have my primary out switches to my secondary. I switch to my melee with 3.
Can anybody help me out, or just point me in the right direction or am I out of luck? The only solution I've been able to think up is to turn on the ingame crosshairs and make a color switcher for the default style.

I don't think you can change the color of the custom crosshair, but you can definitely bring up the ingame crosshairs and change the crosshair color with something like this:
bind 1 slot1;cl_crosshair_green 255;cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0;
bind 2 slot2;cl_crosshair_green 255;cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0;
bind 3 slot3;cl_crosshair_green 255;cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_blue 255;
bind q slot1;cl_crosshair_green 255;cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0;
something like that

you could make the hud crosshair transparent and have a tf crosshair show through the hud crosshair so you dont lose track

So hitsound and dmg text is not enough?

I play soldier so I don't always see damage text (spam from around corners etc). Mumble comms during serious play and music during casual pubbing blocks out my hitsound sometimes. It's just my preference D:

took this from my config and changed it a bit, should work. added three colors (green red pink). this will work with quickswitch (q). Q will never switch to melee.

Thanks for the responses everyone. turtsmcgurts solution was the closest to what I was looking for. I picked crosshair1 and enlarged it so that the lines are spaced out enough to be visibly separated from my main crosshair and changed the colors to my preference (green for primary, yellow for secondary, cyan for melee). Q functions normally and I still have my custom crosshair. Thanks again!
