Draw an interactive FOV circle and customizable crosshair with Dear ImGui:

CPP
void DrawHUDOverlay(float fovRadius, ColorRGB crossColor) {
    ImVec2 screenCenter = ImVec2(ImGui::GetIO().DisplaySize.x / 2.0f, ImGui::GetIO().DisplaySize.y / 2.0f);
    ImDrawList* drawList = ImGui::GetBackgroundDrawList();
    
    // Draw FOV boundary circle
    drawList->AddCircle(screenCenter, fovRadius, IM_COL32(255, 255, 255, 120), 64, 1.5f);
    
    // Draw Dot Crosshair with shadow outline
    drawList->AddCircleFilled(screenCenter, 3.5f, IM_COL32(0, 0, 0, 200));
    drawList->AddCircleFilled(screenCenter, 2.0f, IM_COL32(crossColor.r, crossColor.g, crossColor.b, 255));
}

The shadow outline behind the crosshair dot makes it visible against both bright sky and dark night scenes.

Using GetBackgroundDrawList() avoids window clipping. Very clean.
