How do you intend to show the widgets after they are hidden ?
You can implement auto-hide with either mouseMoveEvent or focusOutEvent...

To show the widget back, you can use mouseMoveEvent in the main class..

When mouse leaves control set a timer. When this timer expires, use another timer to slowly move and/or resize the control. When you get focus, you can use timer to slowly move and/or resize the control back to normal size.
