Cannot close yellow warning message for old OS (UnsupportedOSWarningDialog__body)

[francwalter]

Using a supported version?

• [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

There is a warning (UnsupportedOSWarningDialog__body) for my OS, which is soon too old to run Signal Desktop on it. I read this warning, opened the connected link "learnMoreLink" but I cannot close the message and it blocks parts of my contact list.

Steps to reproduce

Use Signal Desktop v7.30.0 on a macOS 10.15.7. There is a big yellow warning that soon I cannot use anymore Signal Desktop on my computer. There is no button to close this message, to use Signal Desktop until it is really not usable anymore.

Expected result

The warning message needs a button to close after read. Or at least pop up only once after starting Signal Desktop, but not always, without close button. At least there should be a setting to disable such messages.

Actual result

The warning is too big to have it all the time over my contact list. I have really read it now, many times, I know it now, but I want to close it now to use Signal Desktop the very last weeks (till 21. Januar 2025) without annyoing nag screen.
