[Qt-interest] [Fwd: Creating a Border to Desktop]

[Raja Rokkam]

Hi Rahul,

     We are setting the attribute TransparentForMousEvents precisely for
that reason only. You can access your desktop and open any folder or do
anything you like.

I have implemented this and it does work. Let me know if you face any
issues.


-Raja.
