Usually in euros we use the comma to separate decimals, and the dot to group each 10^3 digits. However, in my settings I put the dot for decimals, and the comma for grouping, and indeed in the calculator I use the dot as a decimal separator, but in GnuCash that is not reflected, nor I have any option to change this behaviour. Any idea?

GnuCash's localization is limited to the way it works on Linux, which is the old POSIX locales method. Customizing in System Preferences doesn't work; GnuCash looks for a locale to use. The best you can do is edit Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment and add LC_NUMERIC=en_US and LC_TIME=en_US to set those particular localizations to locales that present numbers and dates the way you like.
