There is a private class inside QSystemTrayIcon you could use for that, it's called QBaloonTip https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/util/qsystemtrayicon_p.h.html#QBalloonTip of course it might need some adaptation if you want it to work in such an old version of Qt

1. implement a custom widget
2. set it's window flags to Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::Tool | Qt::FramelessWindowHint (instead of Qt::Tool you maybe want to use Qt::Popup)
3. you can use QWidget::setMask() for an arbitrary window shape. Alternatively you can set QWidget::setAttribute( Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground ) and simply paint the background shape in the widget

Hi
its not super clear what you ask.
You ask how ot make such window/widget ?

To have such widgets, you must program it from scratch.
There is no premade one to use.
so as @raven-worx suggest should be best way.
Draw the images and text in the paintEvent.

Yes, you should derive from QWidget and paint the look you want.

I guess that you mean this notifications come inside your app , and you do not mean the ones
the OS is showing.
