❌ Use of dialog during setup

[kevingrillet]

It's just for the style, but by using dialog during setup could be much more sexy / user friendly 🥇

[Zebiano]

Nice idea! I've worked once or twice with dialog before, and I actually enjoyed it. But I'd have to revamp the whole script just to make use of dialog, and since it's only for cosmetic purposes it's not really a top priority and will most likely never happen.

Mmh, does dialog actualy exists in Git Bash / Powershell?

If I remember correctly, I've used dialog on a Raspberry Pi 3. But I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't exist.

[kevingrillet]

Yep, it does not exist 👎
