Thanks for your reply.

This seems to have improved the situation somewhat, as I can now see the red image when I click. However, the original image seems to be overlayed over the top of the red image with a level of transparency. It's almost like the visible: false parameter is changed when the MouseArea is clicked?

It's somewhat hard to explain, hopefully the above makes sense?

If not, I can put together some screenshots to demonstrate the issue?

EDIT: Never mind, it looks like user error after all! I had the z-order configured incorrectly, so the drop shadow was being drawn on top of the image rather than underneath it. Thanks again for your help!

Thank you. Investigated and tried it. You cannot do setGraphicsEffect on a QImage which is what I'm using to draw the clock face and hands. Still no shadows then.

Hey @Wieland,

You are correct. You can see what I was talking about if instead of true you type True for the transparentBorder tag. For some reason I corrected it on the code I posted here, but not in my original code.
