    Hi
    Sorry was not paying enough focus.

    You cannot do
    FramelessWindow framelessWindow2;

    as it will run out of scope. That only works in main.cpp

    you MUST new them as you do with MainWindow

    how can i add new FramelessWindow framelessWindow2 in main.cpp and then use it onvoid MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()in mainwindow.cpp?

    Hi you dont need to add it there you can add anywhere but you must NEW it then

    and not as local variable as then it runs out of scope.

    So what i mean is just to do
    FramelessWindow * framelessWindow2 = new FramelessWindow ;

    and not just
    FramelessWindow framelessWindow2; // this is a local variable and as soon as
    on_pushButton_clicked ends , it will be deleted

    so you have to new it

        The other empty one, is that from you create 2 in main.cpp or
        do you only create one there?

            Ok i think we need to hide the parent too.
            instead of
            // ----- Hide old Window and show new window ----- //
            hide();
            try
            parentWidget()->hide();
            to hide the framelss instead of the MainWIn we put inside.

                Hmm so apparently the FrameLess is not the actual parent. must be a holding frame or something.
                (i dont have it installed )

                try
                if (parentWidget()->parentWidget())
                parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide();

                and see if thats enough :)

                        Hmm very odd. I think it might be something stil from FrameLess but not sure what it is.

                            Hi
                            Im pretty sure all of it can be hidden as its just widgets but not sure
                            what that invisible caption really is.
                            inside it just does
                            ui->windowContent->layout()->addWidget(w);

                            so parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide(); should do it but
                            maybe there is something else it creates like maybe the fake caption we can see of something like that.

                                Dont worry, we will nail it.

                                replace

                                if (parentWidget()->parentWidget())
                                parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide();
                                

                                with

                                  auto w = parentWidget();
                                    while ( w ) {
                                        w->hide();
                                        w = w->parentWidget();
                                    }
                                

                                this hides the sample it comes with. Nothing in alt+tab after. So i cross fingers :)
