Constant-size pivot indicator

The following bug report has been submitted:

Description
Re the pivot indicator - would it be possible to make one that is just simple “2D” crosshair like in Chimera? The 3D pivot indicator is fine, but the fact that it’s size changes with zoom level means that it is nearly invisible when one zooms out to see the whole map (see attached screnshot). And generally I think a 2D indicator of the center of rotation is fine, as its position in z becomes apparent on rotation of the view.

Cheers
Oli
