Pause Customizer

A module to fully customize the FoundryVTT pause overlay — icon, text, animation, positioning and background.

This module is based on the Custom Pause module by John Stevens.

Features

Icon

• Custom pause icon (image or video)
• Image width and height
• Opacity
• Vertical offset
• Video support (mp4, webm, ogg) with autoplay and loop

Text

• Custom pause text
• Font family, size, weight
• Text color
• Text transform (uppercase, lowercase, capitalize)
• Letter spacing
• Text shadow
• Vertical offset

Animation

• Animation direction (rotate, reverse, alternate, none)
• Animation duration
• Animation timing function

Background

• Custom CSS background (color, gradient, etc.)
• Background image

Random Pause Image

Select a folder instead of a single file to randomly pick an image each time the game is paused. Use the folder button next to the file picker.

Additional Features

• Dynamic system defaults — automatically detects and displays default values from the active game system (e.g. DnD5e)
• Reset to defaults button
• No reload required — changes apply on save without reloading Foundry
• Supports 6 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil)

Video Support

Videos can be used as the pause icon instead of a static image. Supported formats: mp4, webm, ogg.

Note: The Foundry desktop app (Electron) cannot decode HEVC/H.265 video. Use H.264 (MP4) or WebM for videos that play in both the desktop app and web browsers. Browsers can play HEVC via the operating system's decoder; the desktop app cannot.

How to Use

1. Open Module Settings for Pause Customizer.
2. Configure the desired settings — changes apply immediately.
3. Use the file picker button to select an image/video, or the folder button to select a folder for random images.
