      Do you want a permanent background watermark or the one which disappears with a click like usernames and passwords

          You can have a temporary watermark using
          @setPlaceholderText ("some text")@

          .

            For permanent watermark
            @lineEdit->setFrame(false);
            QLineEdit {
            image: url(:/images/watermark.png);
            }
            @
