Description
From Russell's email of 04/03/2014 to the Developer List:
[What] might be useful is something to indicate that a default property value is being overridden by a remembered, previously entered value. We’ve sometimes heard of users not realizing they weren’t running with defaults because it’s using some value they entered in the past.

An idea I had for this was for those values we want to indicate, have them highlighted when the dialog is first opened, and then the highlight would fade away soon after. This would give an indication that something has happened, but wouldn't leave the dialogs too cluttered.
I have attached a relatively simple class that inherits QFrame, which has a fading background and border. Unfortunately, for a whole PropertyWidget to be highlighted, it would mean quite a large change to how we use QLayouts, and would even affect calling-code like the AlgorithmPropertiesWidget class.
