[quote=“Patrick, post:12, topic:196”]Nice! I would like to change the logic a bit.
Check if ~/.whonix folder exists, if not create it.
Check if ~/.whonix/gateway_first_use_notice_done exists (or a better file name for such a status file).
If status file does not not -> show popup.
If uses checks the “do not show again” box -> create ~/.whonix/gateway_first_use_notice.
If status file exists -> do nothing -> exit.[/quote]
Yes, there was no logic, the script was only for test. The following is more “whonixlike”.

The previous text is now obsolete. You can type lines of any length, it results as one paragraph per line. For example, you could write the story of you life in a single line (if you had a simple life).
Just enter a blank line
to separate the paragraphs.
Work in progress to automatically adjust the size of the window and the size of the text label depending on the text size.
