[Qt-interest] widget with round corners

[manish.s.sharma at nokia.com]

One way to do without coding is modify the image with help of some image editing software eg. gimp.
- what you have to do is add a transparent layer in the image. (in the corners)
- then set this image as baclground image to your widget

Now widget will be only visible in the non-transparent area.

A small tutorial on how to add transparency in a image.

Hope this helps.

Manish
