I am experimenting with Qt-4.2.0-tp and I wonder how I can get more control over the visual appearance of the Baloon messages that are shown. The showMessage() funktion takes a QString as the text to be displayed. Putting CSS/Html formatting tags into it has no effekt. How can I put more space around the Message or add a link or images to it? Is that possible at all?

Thanx in advance

Unfortunately, it seems that you can only display plain text messages.

Also note this:
Note that display of messages are dependent on the system configuration and user preferences, and that messages may not appear at all. Hence, it should not be relied upon as the sole means for providing critical information. Mac OS X does not support balloon messages.

Maybe they will expand its features in the coming releases. After all its a technical preview and there is room for improvement.

Thank you

I just did that in the Qt-4.2.0-preview mailing list.
Thank you.
