          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

              OK, you don't want QLabel because you need copy paste funcitonality. Now I understand.

              You can use the following stylesheet on your lineedit :

              ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("background: transparent;  border: 0px ;");
