35e814c1cfedf17e7751b730ae1e36099801be4c qt: never disable HD status icon (=) Pull request description: [#8517](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8517) introduced the HD status icon in the bottom menu bar. At the time, it may have made sense to disable the HD status icon (which would display the icon at 50% opacity) when the wallet is not HD or watch-only. Since then, we have had many changes to our UI. Namely, the ability to switch between dark and light mode on macOS. Additionally, since version 0.16, the Bitcoin Core client only [generates HD wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12547). Non-HD Wallets cannot be created anymore, only imported. This PR proposes never to disable the HD status icon in the bottom menu bar. Instead, we always leave the HD status icon enabled for a better user interface. There’s no good reason for it to remain disabled, and it’s hard to see the watch-only icon in macOS dark mode. If a user has imported a non-HD wallet, we also want the icon to be as clear as possible in the bottom menu bar. - on macOS | | Master | PR | | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | | Dark Mode |  |  | | Light Mode || | - on ubuntu 20.04 | Master | PR | | ------------- | ------------- | |  | | ACKs for top commit: jarolrod: ACK 35e814c1cfedf17e7751b730ae1e36099801be4c hebasto: ACK 35e814c1cfedf17e7751b730ae1e36099801be4c Tree-SHA512: ba7d1c1f2a439bbb32f7755c10cadc5d61892add3abca2a286a30a0fbbbb077e2190365c9e8dee6a10b4feed249656c7bd58ea14a319f5b28cd56182d4ddbdc1

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
