How to make a transparent QWidget over a Phonon Video?

try pen.setColor(Qt::transparent);

Why dont you override the video widget itself ? You will need to call the base class paintEvent first and then your lines drawing code.
That way you can still draw over the video, isnt it

I did this first but it didnt work, all i saw was the videostream.

On my painter? I tried it and all it did was to make my painting transparent, not the background.

Pardon me,

what about widget->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(0,0,0,0)"); ?

You can do it from the designer as well.

I guess it might be tricky. I guess the phonon will use directX and directX will render directly on memory buffer,,, so am afraid you cant do it directly.. I will try if i get some time...
till then hope someone else comes to rescue
