Hello there,

The default position of QSlider is to the right of the widget.

Why do you want to hide part of the text?

You can stack widgets by not using layouts and setting the right coordinates.
You can make parts of the slider transparent by creating a custom style.

You can also use a graphicsview as the parent widget and put all the child widgets in a scene. Then you can even do nice effects without a lot of effort. Or use QML directly.

But, I would never use such a program. It's unbelievably annoying.
