Is there a way to disable the popup (“Meet the Islands Theme”) during startup? We want to start IntelliJ Instances automatically and the popup stops the automatic starting process.
Thank you
This refers to the popup mentioned here: How to disable the Islands theme popup?
Thank you, but our issue is different: We start Intellij automatically for student exams. While IntelliJ loads the workspace with the exam projects, the “Meet the Islands Theme” popup shows up and stops project initialization. The students have to skip / click the popup, so IntelliJ would finallize project initialization and the students can do their exams. This is not what we want.
Is there any option or setting to prevent the popup from showing?Didea.is.integration.test=true doesn’t seem to work for an exam setting.
Can you try to set ide.experimental.ui.onboarding to false?

Like this in ide.general.xml?
Looks promising 
We will try next week! Thank you!
This is a registry key. You can override it in idea.properties. I don’t know if it works with xml configs.
Put it to .vmoptions file as -Doption=value
# custom IntelliJ IDEA VM options (expand/override 'bin\idea64.exe.vmoptions')
-Dide.experimental.ui.onboarding=false
I have put it in .vmoptions, but I cannot test from home. So I will have to wait until Tuesday.
We could put it into the Registry as well. How would the entry look like?
It worked! Thank you!
