    Default Dots in complex window mask

    Hi all!

    I need to create transparent window with non-transparent text on it. Text is changing dynamically, so I create QPixmap object for mask every time i get new text.
    When I set window mask, besides text on screen appear strange dots (attached screenshot). I saw this effect on Linux (Qt 4.6.2) and Windows (Qt 4.6.0).
    I tried to save mask as png file, and it was correct, without dots.
    Have anyone ideas how to fix it? Or is it a Qt bug?

    simplified paint event for my widget:

    Qt Code:
    1. void Widget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
    2. {
    3. QPixmap mask;
    4. mask = QPixmap(800, 600);
    5. QString text[16][32];
    6. QPainter maskPainter(&mask);
    7. maskPainter.setBrush(Qt::black);
    8. maskPainter.setPen(Qt::black);
    9. maskPainter.fillRect(-1,-1, mask.width()+1, mask.height()+1, Qt::white);
    10. maskPainter.setFont(QFont("Liberation Sans", 21, QFont::Bold));
    11. for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
    12. {
    13. text[i][0] = "X";
    14. text[i][31] = "X";
    15. }
    16. for (int j = 0; j < 32; j++)
    17. {
    18. text[0][j] = "X";
    19. text[15][j] = "X";
    20. }
    21. for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
    22. {
    23. for (int j = 0; j < 32; j++)
    24. {
    25. maskPainter.drawText(800*j/32,600*i/16,800/32,600/16, Qt::AlignBottom|Qt::AlignCenter, text[i][j]);
    26. }
    27. }
    28. resize(mask.width(), mask.height());
    29. clearMask();
    30. setMask(mask);
    31. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Thanks.

    Does your window have a QSizeGrip by default, or you added one maybe ? It really looks like a sizeGrip

    I solved this problem by using QBitmap instead of QPixmap It works correct now.
