ok, I see it now :)

When the checkbox is unchecked it doesn't show the warning bar,
I'll also check if the textbox is empty.

A link to the help page, sure it's a good thing.

Even if I don't like the enable always option as it might cause
security issues, I thought to put just one checkbox in the setting
dialog to make macros always enabled.

I don't imagine how to make the "always enable macros
for just this project" option working.
Projects don't have a identifier like layers and I guess the path is
not a good choice because the project file could be replaced
and the user could easily be wrong.

What do you think?

The icon is the one used for the message logger (displayed
bottom-right when in Debug mode), of course that white
background has to be removed. We also need a icon for
the close button (x) and icons for the other 2 levels of
messages, i.e. critical and information.

Opinions are welcome!
Regards.
