As I see the context of what you want to do I would advise to use a QLabel instead of the QLineEdit. You never want to use it as an input field are you?If you use QLabel you already have the background color without the border

You can use the following stylesheet on your lineedit :
ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("background: transparent; border: 0px ;"); -

@Qt-Enthusiast
Glad you could make it work. Can you please mark this topic as solved and start a new one since this is a totally different question.
Please provide us with the needed code of what you have already and explain as good as possible what you want to do.Edit : made a new topic for your question : copy from qlineedit using pop up menu
