67c59ae4793b1a5ebe0c4c542abf3c095e6a658b qt: Make warning label look clickable (Jarol Rodriguez) Pull request description: The warning icon on the overview page indicates that there is something important the user should know about, but a user may not be aware that they can click it because, on `master`, the warning label does not look clickable. As detailed in issue #23, the reason to make it look clickable is that it if they "had a more clickable-appearance (borders or beveled button edges) it could help users more quickly understand what they are being alerted to." This PR removes the `flat` property from both `QPushButton`'s to make them look like a button, and therefore clickable. Furthermore, it updates the `Maximum Width` to `45` to fix the small hit-box issue outlined in issue #215. Below are screenshots showing how the warning icon looks under `master` and this `PR`: **macOS 11.1: Qt 5.15** | Master | PR | | ----------- | ----------- | | <img width="754" alt="Screen Shot 2021-02-22 at 5 00 40 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23396902/108776135-f6d50380-752f-11eb-9f96-25163c6a2a02.png"> | <img width="754" alt="Screen Shot 2021-02-22 at 3 08 40 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23396902/108776068-e0c74300-752f-11eb-9545-3580e2b8f187.png"> | **Ubuntu 20.04: Qt 5.12** | Master | PR | | ----------- | ----------- | | <img width="783" alt="Screen Shot 2021-02-22 at 4 57 32 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23396902/108776249-284dcf00-7530-11eb-8325-7fe13a9243a7.png"> |  | Closes #23 Closes #215 ACKs for top commit: Talkless: tACK 67c59ae4793b1a5ebe0c4c542abf3c095e6a658b, tested on Debian Sid.

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
