My intention is to make a file selector, so when the file has been selected, I want to show the selected file in the QLineEdit field. I want this field to be transparent, but didn't find any method.

I think you have to set it to not paint the background. Look at the window flags.

I do not see the connection between "I want to show the selected file in the QLineEdit field" and "I want this field to be transparent".

This seems to do the trick for me:

lineedit->setStyleSheet("* { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); }");

lineedit->setStyleSheet("* { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); }");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I want the background to be transparent, not the content. That's worked, ty!
