Semi-transparent QTextEdit
-
Hi all,
I've been trying to get a QTextEdit control to draw its background semi-transparently, but to no avail. I've lost count on the number of different methods I've tried:
- setting the palette, both to the QTextEdit control itself, and to the viewport() (i.e. a Palette with colors for both QPalette::Base and QPalette::Background set to RGBA colors)
- calling control->setStyleSheet with background set to "none"
- this method:
@ control->setAttribute( Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground, true );
@
-
and this:
@control->viewport()->setAutoFillBackground(false);
@ -
and finally this:
@QGraphicsOpacityEffect* effect = new QGraphicsOpacityEffect( control );
effect->setOpacity( 0.75 );
control->setGraphicsEffect( effect );
@ -
and of course a number of combinations of some or all of these methods
but nothing works.
A thing to note is that I'm NOT adding this control to a layout, since it is absolutely positioned on top of other windows.
I'm currently on page 3 in the Google search, will continue to go deeper.
Any ideas?

you have to set your window flag for you QTextEdit to Qt::FramelessWindowHint so it can work with the first option
