Different fixation crosses/dots

This is probably a very niche request, but we've had feedback on an experiment recently where people were confused by the fixation cross in between trials and interpreted it as a plus sign. We've now decided to use a dot instead, but at the moment you can only programme this using a rich text screen to show an HTML element (in our case ⬤) or by uploading an image and using an Image zone. (The downside to the latter being that we didn't have a vector drawing on hand.) Would it be possible to configure the Fixation zone with a selection of different crosses/dots to choose from (and perhaps an option to change their size)? For inspiration, this could be useful: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698912003380.

With the release of the new Task Builder (Task Builder 2), we reworked how zones and their functionality are tied together. For example, there are now separate components for a fixed fixation cross and the fixation timing (pre display time, display time, post display time). As a result you could take a text, markdown or image component, and add the fixation component and will now behave in the same was a Fixation Cross would in TB1!
