[Solved] Opaque label in a transparent widget

[vvishnu.egmail.com]

Hi,
I am new to Qt. I am creating a widget which is transpernt, i want some opaque labels on the widget.
How can i create opaque label
This is my code
@QApplication a(argc, argv);
QWidget *w = new QWidget();
w->setWindowOpacity(0.7);
w->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);

w->setPalette(QPalette(Qt::black));
w->setFixedHeight(240);
w->setFixedWidth(500);
QLabel *lblImg = new QLabel();
lblImg->setText("<img  >");
w->show();


return a.exec(&#41;;

Thank you
Vishnu V

Hi, Vishnu. A widget's opacity is inherited by it's children, thus a child cannot be more opaque than it's parent. I think your solution here would be to set the background color of the widget to a translucent color.

I'm a QML guy myself, though, so I'm not sure how to do that on a QWidget. I've got this far, though, and it's a start:

@
QWidget *w = new QWidget();
w->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
w->setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);

w->setPalette(QPalette(Qt::black));
w->setStyleSheet("background:rgba(0,0,0,70%)");

w->setFixedHeight(240);
w->setFixedWidth(500);

QLabel *lblImg = new QLabel(w);
lblImg->setText("Meh!");
w->show();

Thank you very much, Problem solved :-)

I'm glad to hear it. I recommend going ahead and posting your final changes that solved the problem so that future readers who have the same problem can see the solution too. Plus, I'd like to see what you did to fix mine, which (at least for me) was not displaying correctly.
