    Please don't link to images you store on 3rd party sites. Use the attachment feature of the forum instead.

    As to your question - QWidget::setMask() and/or QWidget::setAttribute() with Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
