Why stil there's no such option, or am I missing it? Video output currently is going over all other windows, but i want to pause clip and hide it behind other windows thus being able to resume clip playback later😢

Yes, as stated above, you can pause. but I am pretty sure that you are not able to hide the model behind windows. I am pretty sure this program always lands on top.

(Happy Birthday @sjaakie !)

When I minimize the video, I only see an istrippericon in the taskbar, and I can use any other program (open in startscreen or already opened in taskbar). I can continue watching the video via the icon in the taskbar.
I have Windows 11 but it might be different with other versions.
(Thanks for your congratulations)

I'm using win10 and there's no option to minimize! Window with show being played always on top, and can be ovelapped only by other windows which always-on-top as well, for ex, you can put show behing iStripper window, but you cant do the same with browser: if i select "Pause/Resume" the text in browser will be under model. Thus to work in brower my only otion is to slect "Disable iStripper", however if i press lately "Enable iStripper", the show will be played from the BEGGINING, not from the moment i pressed "Disable iStripper" - which is very inconveiniet!

You Can Pause the clip
Then Adjust the Transparency Setting To Hide it Partially from Being Seen.

Then Come back and Adjust the Transparency Setting Back
and UnPause it.

When you Disable the Clip, Yes the current Playback Position Is lost.

My iStages App can Also be Used.
You ***** and Drop the Clip on to One of My Stages.
While the Stage is top Most, you can See the clip.
But the stage can be hidden behind another window, and so to will the Model that is on that Stage be Hidden.

iStage Use Demo
https://wyldanimal.com/videos/Use-iStage-So-Model-can-be-Paused-and-Hidden.mp4

Optionally,
You can Use an App like Notepad.exe and Shrink it's height as small as possible.
***** and Drop the Model on to this Now Skinny Notepad window.

Since the Notepad window can be Hidden, so too will the Paused Model.
Bring the Notepad window to the front to see the Model again.

There are also some Scripting Methods that can be used to
Send the VGHD.exe process to the Background
It can then be Hidden behind other windows.

Pause the clip
Use the Script to send it to the background

Here is a Python Script that can be used.
https://www.istripper.com/customdata/forum/2025-07-20/xD4eHrcb.png

Can't post the code because the Punctuation characters can't be Displayed

Demo Video of the Scripted Method
https://wyldanimal.com/videos/Scripted_Pause_Hide_Method.mp4

I made two Python Scripts
One to Remove the topmost setting from VGHD.exe
and One to Restore the Topmost setting

Then I Pinned them to my Start Menu.

If you want to Play around with the Scripting Method
Here are the Two Scripts I used.
https://wyldanimal.com/files/WA-Topmost-Scripts.zip


And the Instructions on How to Pin them to the Start Menu.

You Can't Pin scripts to the Start Menu or to the TaskBar
But here is a Trick to Get around this Limitation.

How to Use a Python Script so you can Pin it to the Start or Pin it to the Task Bar.
Send your Script to the Desktop ( it creates a link to the Script file )

then go to the TaksBar and Edit the Properties of the Link
The Tarket will be someting like this
E:\Is\Data\VGHD_Send_to_BackGround.py

Change the Target so that it Begins with the name of the Process used to Run the Script.
In this example Python.exe is the Process.

Python.exe "E:\Is\Data\VGHD_Send_to_BackGround.py"

Then Save this Updated Link

Since the Link is Now to an Executable Process
It can Be Pinned to Start
or
It can Be Pinned to the Task Bar.


You will Need to have Python Installed
you can open a CMD prompt as an Administrator and use Curl to install Python.

curl -o python-installer.exe https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.0/python-3.12.0-amd64.exe

Then Install it Silently
start /wait python-installer.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0

Finally check the version installled
python --version

and you Also need these dependency files

pip install pywin32 psutil

First of all, I want to thank you, Wyldanimal, from the bottom of my heart! Really, you've explained everything in such details, even what to do with py files😇(though i, personally, would never thought about using python in such a task😧).
I have achieved similar effect with autoit, the problem is that this is something to be expected built-in, imho.
Firstly, we have to do several actions, in your case : pause clip, run script instead of 1 (like shortcut to hide istripper)
More impotantly, we are not devs - so our back doors have side effects, like in your case : istripper becomes non-topmost "forever", i have some ideas as to why (qt windows are very capricious, you change order for ALL windows, while we need only one with media playback, etc.) - but this is irrelevant, i'm sure my work around has similar or worse aftereffects.
Well, I rephrase it in suggestions topic, would really like to see as built-in feature.

@Brevado

When I see posts about,
What am I Missing ?
How do I ?
why Isn't there ?

I ask myself,
How can that be Accomplished, and then Offer up possible solutions.
while they might not always be a Designed in Solution.
It gives the Person asking the Question, an Option they might not have thought of.

Your Post was interesting in the fact:
In All the Years I have been using the Totem "Girls Stripping on your Desktop"
since around 1998

I have never once asked myself.
How do I pause and Hide the Model?
And I doubt that it would be a Feature that I would ever need.

But your post asked the Question, so I proceeded to offer up options.

PS: the 2nd Script does restores the Topmost setting,
In fact, the very next time a clip ends and new clip restarts, that new clip once again has it's topmost setting.

My request would be this:
When the Transparency level is Not 0
Ignore the Mouse
so that any mouse functions: click, click and *****, pass through to the background.
Make it so the Model is Truly Transparent.
