    Hello to all,
    I am trying to create a transparent widget. I searched it and found a solution which works without problem on linux.

    setWindowFlags(Qt::Widget | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
    setParent(0); // Create TopLevel-Widget
    setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground, true);
    setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground, true);
    

    QTCreator version on linux is 5.11.3.
    However, when i sent the codes and try it on Raspberry pi 4 rasbian buster os, the transparent area stays black when i run the program. Qt Creator version on rasbian is same : 5.11.3

    Then , I tried adding this;

    setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen); 
    

    It works but it makes every object transparent and gives error while running program as;

    Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1
    

    May the X server on rasbian cause the problem?
    Thank you for any advice.

      Not sure, but maybe need to set alpha buffer size?
      QSurfaceFormat format;
      format.setAlphaBufferSize(8);
      window.setFormat(format);
