QWebView transparent problem

Hi all,
I want to have a transparent QWebView. Now, I can make a transprent window by this thread.
As I know, QWebView is a child of QWidget. But when I use webView->load(QUrl("http://www.google.com/"));, the window of QWebView is not transparent. Can I make the QWebView appear as text on the desktop? Anyone who can help me.
here is my code.

Code:

---

class WebView : public QWebView
{
 
    public:
    WebView()
    {
        pixmap = new QPixmap(size());
    }
    ~WebView()
    {
        delete pixmap;
    }
protected:
    void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
    {
        QWebView::resizeEvent(event);
        pixmap->fill(Qt::transparent);
        QPainter::setRedirected(this, pixmap);
        QPaintEvent pe(rect());
        paintEvent(&pe);
        QPainter::restoreRedirected(this);
        setMask(pixmap->mask());//
 
    }
private:
    QPixmap* pixmap;
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    WebView* webView = new WebView();
    QPalette palette = webView->palette();
    webView->load(QUrl("http://www.google.com/"));
 
    webView->show();
    return a.exec();
}

I've tried to set palette of webview, but the background turns out to be full transparent (nothing on the screen, totally transparent...), what's the problem, anybody help?

Code:

---

WebView() {
  QPalette pal = palette();
  pal.setBrush(QPalette::Window, Qt::transparent);
  setPalette(pal);
}

Anybody help? Thanks!

Dont do anything,,, just use QWidget::setWindowOpacityIt will set the transparency for the whole widget.

Thanks for your answer first!

The method you mentioned do be able to solve the transparency problem of a *whole* widget, nevertheless, our purpose is to leave the background transparent, while make the contents (for example, a button, an input, etc) opaque, somehow like the effect of Yahoo! desktop widget.

So any suggestion for these? Thanks!
