To be more aggressive: DO NOT DO THAT! NEVER!

Qt::transparent is Qt::black with zero alpha component, so whenever someone (UI \
Styles) test the the background color, they will get rubbish for this widget (unless \
you check the alpha component and conditionally treat this as invisible)

This approach showed up someone in the early KDE4 days and is since then the \
pestilence in visual KDE code (so eg. bespin during polishment tests widgets for \
doing this and tries to fix them up as good as possible)

use ::setAutoFillBackground(false) on ::viewport() but please DO NOT FREAK THE \
PALETTE, seriously ;-)

Another issue in this regard are several QItemViews, because they operate on \
hardcoded QPalette::Text, so if you want to make such view "transparent" you should \
not only viewport()->setAutoFillBackground(false) but also (and actually) will \
unfortunately have to "fix" the palette by aligning palette().color(QPalette::Text) \
and parentWidget().palette().color(QPalette::Window) - that includes filtering \
QEvent::Application/PaletteChange and re-fix the colors under this incident (smart \
approach is to check whether the color is already correct and not trigger another \
PaletteChange event in that case ;-)

For the very same manner, please do not abuse setStyleSheet() for being lazy to \
correct colors (now actually changing the palette, maybe even better: \
set[Back|Fore]groundRole()) - you'll end up with hardcoded colors (even if you select \
them at runtime) bypassing the style, and in 90% of all cases will break bright on \
dark palettes.
