- add enableApplyButton() and disableApplyButton() to optionsdialog.{h/cpp}
- they are used to ensure the Ok button does not get disabled, when Apply needs to be disabled (standard UX should allow Ok always to dismiss the dialog and only disable it, when we have a faulty proxy IP)
- disable Apply after initially loading the settings, as nothing new needs to be saved
- remove orphan settings from optionsdialog.ui that are default anyway
- remove duplicate includes, that are already present in ui_optionsdialog.h
- change QIntValidator to not allow 0 as port-number
- re-order some function calls to match the Ui element order, for better readbility and to prepare for the addition of further IPv6 and Tor proxy options
- restat warning for the language selection is only shown, when the language was changed (not on simply activating the Ui element)
- split check for object == ui->proxyIp into seperate if-clause
- micro-optimize the code in the above mentioned if-clause
- unify used format for comments in the code
- introduce handleProxyIpValid() function, which handles UI elements and the
save button states for valid/invalid proxy IPs
- display as "language - country (locale name)", when locale name consists of 2 parts
- display as "language (locale name)", when locale name consists of 1 part
- extend network options with a SOCKS version selection
- changing "Unit to show amounts in:" now also updates the unit used in the transaction fee box
- string updates
- link Apply button and OK button when enabling or disabling them
- use LookupNumeric() from netbase to verify proxy address (via an EventFilter)
- change proxy address field to QValidatedLineEdit and add visual feedback
- add a status label used for displaying a message for invalid proxy addresses
- allow usage of IPv6 address as proxy address
- added warning message when enabling / disabling SOCKS proxy
Add an option -detachdb (and entry in OptionDialog), without which no
lsn_reset is called on addr.dat and blkindex.dat. That means these
files cannot be moved to a new environment, but shutdown can be
significantly faster. The wallet file is always lsn_reset'ed.
-detachdb corresponds to the old behaviour, though it is off by
default now to speed up shutdowns.
- converted openBictoinAction to toggleHideAction
- put GUIUtil functions into a namespace instead of a class
- put window-related functions together in optionsdialog
Reasoning:
- toggle is more typical behaviour
- it's more functional
- better UX
The typical issue with toggling visibility is that when a window
is obscured by other windows but in the 'shown' state, hiding it
isn't what you want. I've added an 'isObscured' function to GUIUtil
that checks several pixels in the window to see if they are visible
on the desktop so that an obscured but shown window can be raised.

Now it can't be told if this is was a Windows App before. All Mac design principles are fulfilled and some cosmetics have been applied to suit the native look and feel. The biggest change there is the proper use of the Dock icon which takes the role of the Tray icon on Mac.
The QDoubleSpinBox improves entering of Bitcoin amounts, no two separate fields are required anymore. All functionality and validation effects have been retained; pressing the comma key will be internally translated to a period to keep it consistent throughout the application and eases entering in countries which use the comma as decimal separator.
Additionally, Notificator now supports Growl, Mac's native notification system. This is provided via Apple Script in order to avoid linking to Growl on compile time. Other changes involve encapsulation of Toolbar and Menubar creation, loading of Qt's own translation and some clean up.
