How can I create a transparent about box like SKYPE?

Hi dudes!

I think SKYPE was created using Qt (not sure)
How can I create something like this window? shadow included :)

Only Skype4Linux, the ones for other platforms were not.

Please don't link to images you store on 3rd party sites. Use the attachment feature of the forum instead.

As to your question - QWidget::setMask() and/or QWidget::setAttribute() with Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground.
