So in this case we should have an OK - Cancel - Apply triptlet, but only if the
Apply was clicked the Cancel button should become Close, as it is done this way
in other softwares, and the Close button should become Cancel again if more
changes are made without being Applied.

Yes and no, in this case I just want a way to preview or apply the changes
without closing two dialog boxes and then reopen them if I am not satisfied
with the result. Either preview or apply would work here, but I would go for an
Apply button, as if I am satisfied with the result, I can exit and keep the
changes as well. Would be more intuitive than a simple Preview button that I
have to remember to save (press OK) im my opinion.
