create a QWidget and get screen geometry using QDesktopWidget.

Set this flags:

setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);

setAttribute(Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents);
and if you want to draw a border jus override the paint events and create a QPainter object in it and just paint the border.

Take a look to QWidget::setMask to create a widget with "holes" and QDesktopWidget to get desktop geometry.


Hello All,

I am creating a widget which has following requirements.

1. Widget covers an entire screen. Like full screen.

2. Thick blue border.

3. Widget is such that I can see UI in the background. .i.e. I can see my desktop.

To summarize this, it's like putting a border on your desktop. One can also consider it as creating a Frame for a desktop.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Rahul
