Change or allow us the ability to change the map when PAUSED

When pausing the Map in Pro, it is VERY difficult if not often impossible to tell when the map is actually paused, as the "Paused" font is often difficult to see and is NOT prominent.

ArcMap would simply black out the map when paused, which is better than this little tiny "Paused" word that easily disappears in the map.

Please, either make this more obvious or give us some control, perhaps the ability to alter this "Paused" font color and/or size, etc."Paused" is barely visible

If we had the option to blank the map when pausing the map, like the way ArcMap did, I would definitely be choosing that option as I too find the word paused ineffective.

From @DuncanHornby https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/change-how-arcgis-pro-pauses-the-drawing-of-a-map/idi-p/942245 There will be as many users who dislike "pause" equating to "don't show me anything".

Idea noted.

A pause overlay is included on the map tab when paused as well. But is obviously also getting missed 😕
