Hi,
In order to create widgets and forms like that you can try the following:

1. "Qt Style Sheets":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet.html which is very powerful and allows you to customize the appearance of the widgets. You can also change the StyleSheets at runtime just like windows themes we can change the look and feel.

2. "Create Custom Style":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstyle.html#creating-a-custom-style you can create a custom look and feel for your application by creating a custom style.

3. "Qt's Paint System":http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7/paintsystem.html allows you to paint anything that you want.

For Opacity you can refer to "QGraphicsOpacityEffect":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qgraphicsopacityeffect.html.

You can also have a look on the "Qt Widgets":http://qt-apps.org/index.php?xcontentmode=4298 to have an idea about how these can be developed.

And last you can have a look on "Creating a custom window example ":http://qt.developpez.com/tutoriels/braindeadbzh/customwindow/, you need to translate or open this link in google chrome.
