Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-, to open Preferences.
  2. In the category list, click Play.
  3. In the Playhead subsection, activate/deactivate Show playhead when stopped.
  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The playhead is shown outside of playback when Show playhead when stopped is activated, and hidden when it is deactivated.

Note

This does not apply to Play mode or Print mode. The playhead always appears in Play mode and never appears in Print mode.
