displaying the second image on the second region comprising the second location.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, prior to the displaying the identifiers of the set of images in the game screen:

displaying an image list on a configuration interface of the game screen, the image list comprising identifiers of a plurality of images;

obtaining a third operation in the target game application, the third operation being used for selecting the identifiers of the set of images among the identifiers of the plurality of images; and

selecting, in response to the third operation, the identifiers of the set of images among the identifiers of the plurality of images, and configuring the set of images for the target virtual operation object.

8. An image display apparatus, comprising:

at least one memory configured to store program code; and

at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:

first displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display identifiers of a set of images in a first region of a game screen of a target game application, wherein the set of images are images that are used to customize a visualization of a target operation of a target virtual operation object and to be displayed in the game screen;

first obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain a first operation on the first region of the game screen in the target game application, wherein the first operation is selection of an identifier of a first image among the identifiers of the set of images; and

second displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display the first image on a second region of the game screen, wherein the first image customizes the visualization of the target operation of the target virtual operation object in the second region of the game screen.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the second displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to:

display the first image on the second region at which a first aim point is aimed in the game screen, the first aim point being an aim point of a first virtual attack prop currently used by the target virtual operation object.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to:

obtain a first location at which the first aim point is aimed, the first location being a touch location at which the first aim point touches a first static obstacle in the game screen; and

display the first image on the second region comprising the first location.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:

third displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display the identifiers of the set of images in the target game application after the first image is displayed on the second region of the game screen;

second obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain a second operation in the target game application after the first image is displayed on the second region of the target game application, the second operation being used for selecting an identifier of a second image among the identifiers of the set of images;

first selecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to select, in response to the second operation, the identifier of the second image among the identifiers of the set of images; and

fourth displaying code configured to cause the at least one processor to display the second image on the second region of the game screen, and cancel the display of the first image on the second region of the game screen.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the fourth displaying code is further configured to cause the at least one processor to:

display the second image on the second region at which a second aim point is aimed in the game screen, the second aim point being an aim point of a second virtual attack prop currently used by the target virtual operation object.
