Hi everyone. I am looking for a skin for Kodi 18.9 or 19 that has an option to hide the entire OSD during pause. I want to be able to pause during video playback and see the entire image, unaltered without any OSD on the screen or any overlay. Just a frozen image. I saw some things about how it looked like XML config could be added to make this. But I'm looking for a skin that hopefully has this option in its configuration menu so no editing is needed. It doesn't matter much what the skin is or how it looks. But this functionality is very important for me. Suggestions please? Thank you everyone.

Estuary will auto-hide the OSD when paused after 5 sec in v19

I use the Amber skins on both Leia and Matrix and there in one of the latest versions of the skin you can remove all OSD stuff with the correct settings. You still have to wait 5 seconds after hitting pause before it is completely clean (for 5 sec. you get a small info bar at the top which disappears after 5 sec.)
Version of Amber skin that I use and for which it works: Leia (3.2.126) and Matrix (3.4.13).
Settings needed are:
- Settings --> Skin Settings--> Fullscreen/OSD:
- Show video info on pause: No
- Hide seek bar when paused: Yes

When you hit pause you should just get the top seekbar in Estuary v19, the only time you should get the bottom part is if you activate Info or OSD actions.
