Display the yellow cross that marks the x,y,z coordinates

Hello!
The program shows us a white cross that is always in the centre of the screen, it also shows us a yellow cross, which is located at the origin of coordinates.
Some time ago, the programme showed me a yellow cross, this allowed me to move a cloud and position a specific area on the yellow cross. This way I left that point at the coordinates 0,0,0.
I haven't used this method for a long time, and I have recently started using it again but I have encountered the following problem:
The program no longer shows me that yellow cross.
Please, could someone tell me how to show that yellow cross again?

I show you some images from the past where I could see the yellow cross.

This image is current, we can see the white cross, which is always in the centre, but we can't see the yellow cross.

Indeed, the white cross is always in the middle of the screen (you can enable or disable it in the 'Display > Display settings' dialog.

The yellow cross is actually the position of the custom light (Display > Lights > Toggle Custom Light - shortcut F7). You can move this custom light by holding the 'CTRL' key and pressing the left mouse button (but I guess in your case you don't want to do that as you want to keep it in (0, 0, 0) ;-).
