Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint
Try to create a window and set the flags as below to see if it works. Do not use qwidget.
setWindowFlags(Qt::CustomizeWindowHint
| Qt::FramelessWindowHint
| Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);Sure, as mpergand suggested, you can try qdialog as well.
Or something like subwindow? not sure. Never used it.

A full screen application on macOS is not the same thing as one on Windows or Linux. It moves to its own "desktop" and thus other applications are not working on the same space.
What exactly are you trying to do with your application ?

My application has an function "sharing screen", there is toolbar on top of screen that users can try to stop sharing. Even when user is using other apps on fullscreen mode.
I can achieve this by using objective-c code, but I don't know how to achieve this by Qt -

I tried this, but it does not work either
QDialog* test = new QDialog();
// test->setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt::Tool | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
test->setWindowFlags(Qt::CustomizeWindowHint
| Qt::FramelessWindowHint
| Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
test->show(); -
Since it's macOS specific, nothing wrong with mixing some Objective-C++ to achieve your objective.
