did you see an example in QTDIR/examples/widgets/shapedclock?

Here is my example:

void ShapedMenu::roundCorner()
{
	QPixmap pixmap(size());
	QPainter painter(&pixmap);
	painter.fillRect(pixmap.rect(), Qt::white);
	painter.setBrush(Qt::black);
	painter.drawRoundRect(pixmap.rect(), 10, 10);
	setMask(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white));
}

void ShapedMenu::roundCorner()
{
	QPixmap pixmap(size());
	QPainter painter(&pixmap);
	painter.fillRect(pixmap.rect(), Qt::white);
	painter.setBrush(Qt::black);
	painter.drawRoundRect(pixmap.rect(), 10, 10);
	setMask(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white));
}

You could customize the pixmap by design it with Photoshop, CorelDRAW, etc.
