Is there a way to accomplish this? I find the big "Paused" overlay unnecessary.

Thx in advance.

Thanks for posting this question.  I had a similar question as sometimes I'm pausing a scene to study it in the event I cannot immediately see what the director is trying to draw my attention to and the overlay gets in the way.

I cannot say whether this setting option is available in all skins, but within the Aeon Nox skin switching off the System > Interface > Skin > Configure Skin > Customisation > Video OSD > Enable Netflix Style  pause screen popup setting did what I needed.

Thanks! Was looking for this. Couldn't have been much more hidden lol.
