    Question Transparency in Qt

    hi, folks...

    I can't make a QLabel (which contains a picture from a png file) be transparent.

    Anyone knows how I do that?

    I'm using Qt Designer 3.1
    The OS requirements were Windows Vista Ultimate or better, so we used Linux.

    Not entirely sure that it can be done to be honest.

    What I presume you are wanting to do is have a main background image and then the lable ontop of that with a transperancy so that the background will still show through.

    How this is done is through the use of a QCanvas.

    Esentialy a QCanvas is a drawable area that handles the displaying of QCanvasItems that can be layered and will be able to handle your transperancy.

    Hope that this answers your question.
