I mean... using

setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);
setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);

is not a groundbreaking discovery :)

Yes, because the QWindow/QWidget is still there, even when it's transparent and you can see through. It's still the top-level window.

@Pl45m4 translucent background and frameless window are not sufficient to achieve it.You can try by yourself

Yes, in addition you painted the window blue with a transparent gradient.
