Yes you are correct. I was talking about reading the desktop background
from a file.
I don't think Qt (1.x) supports transparent windows. A quick grep trough
the html documentation:

/usr/local/qt/$ grep transparent *.html
t14.html:widget. Since widgets cannot be transparent, we have to

Are you taking about Qt 2.0? I must admit I'm no Qt expert, though. Does
anyone know if real transparency is, in principle, possible ? And how about
effects? Would that be possible?

Cheers,
