Insert an image with transparent background on base background

[mrphunghuy]

Hello Everybody!
I'm a newbie of Qt. I have a problem need help. I want insert an image with transparent background (icon-home.png) in to a window which I created.
This window I set background by follow command:


window->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(./images/bg.jpg");

Image I insert by:

QLabel *image = new QLabel;
image->setPixmap(QPixmap("./images/icon-home.png"));

Then:

layout->addWidget(image);
window->setLayout(layout);

but when program run, the area transparent of image haven't color of base background (otherwise, the area stransparent of image cover base background).
How to make this area transparent dont cover base background ?
Thanks!

Try This:


setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/bg.jpg)");
QLabel *image = new QLabel(this);
image->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/icon-home.png"));

Make sure your images are available in the resource file with prefix "/".

For custom drawing , you will need to override the QWidget::paintEvent function.
