How do I create a popup message widget,and make it gradually transparent.

[MorrisLiang]

I want to make a notification widget,just like the one in Linux.


And I want it gradually transparent.
I think of serveral directions to do this:
1.use Animation Framework to tween it.
2.tween it in a loop in another thread.
3.set a qtimer,and each time the timer times out,I make it less visible.

Anyone tells me what is better?Or maybe they are not good plan for that...

But what exactly is the problem? Forget about threads, I can tell you that.

[MorrisLiang]

lol....I don't know how to express...
Ok,I am creating a widget.This widget will transit from opaque to transparent within 1 sec.So,how do I acheive this effect?

[wysota]

What did you already try?

[MorrisLiang]

I haven't try yet,but I guess timer is the easiest way.

[wysota]

So try something first and come back with specific questions if you encounter problems.

You seem to be answering your own questions Keep this up and you'll soon be a Qt pro

(and don't forget Qt Assistant is there to help, along with plenty examples and demos)
