    Default Re: QMainWindow->centralWidget with alpha?

    Unfortunately this is platform dependent. In Unix you can use ARGB windows with the composite extension turned on in the X server. With Windows Vista you need to use the platform API regarding manipulation of the client area. With older Windows systems the effect might not be possible to achieve at all.
