Hi all,
Can you help me make a widget transparent through parents' widgets. By that I mean making a widget transparent to the desktop (for example) while the parent widget is opaque.
I've tried stuff like

setStyleSheet("background-color: QColor(r,g,b,%);");
setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen);
setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintUnclipped);
but had no luck.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, but doesn't that make the whole window transparent, including titlebar etc.? I need only the one widget to be transparent, while keeping all other stuff opaque.
