If you are talking about a QDialog-based widget then usually it is the Window Manager of the underlying OS that does these effects.

And that is a Good Thing(tm), because then the user can disable those effects system-wide for every application (like I do ;)

However when you draw the widget entirely yourself (e.g. an "embedded dialog" within some other QWidget) you are free to "animate" it in whatever way. I could even imagine that the upcoming "Qt Quick" provides a few flashy effects in this area.

Cheers, Oliver
