Transparency relative to other windows (from other processes)? That's Qt-4 \
only (setWindowOpacity).
Transparency relative to other widgets in the same process? Not really \
available, except if it's only about sharing a common background pixmap. \
(iirc)
Transparency when painting a given widget or pixmap? Available with QPixmap \
and QPainter, provided that you have the RENDER extension [or that you do \
it by hand with QImage]. The easy way is: create a PNG with transparency, \
load it, paint it. For more info, see my chapter in the Practical Qt book \
:)
