I know that there is a function QWidget::setWindowOpacity(qreal level)
but as written in the documentation this does only work for windows.
Is there a way to make widgets that are lying inside layouts opaque too?
What I'm trying to do is an animation where widgets are fading in. I once did that with a preferences-dialog and there it worked.
So do you think there is a way or a work-around to achieve opacity for widgets inside layouts? How would you do that?
Thanks in advance!
Just use QGraphicsOpacityEffect in order to achieve this effect.
- Qt4: http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qgraphicsopacityeffect.html
- Qt5: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgraphicsopacityeffect.html
Well for widgets inside mainwidow appear to have setAutoFillBackground(False)
by default.
to make it fade in fadeout u need to to use QGraphicsOpacityEffect
along with setAutoFillBackground(True)
a small example: write inside the widget which is called inside the mainwindow
op=QGraphicsOpacityEffect(self)
op.setOpacity(1.00) #0 to 1 will cause the fade effect to kick in
self.setGraphicsEffect(op)
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
SetWindowOpacity
works for me in Linux. I used code like this to change window opacity, (value is from 0 to 100):
setWindowOpacity(qreal(value)/100);
In Qt5 you can use css to make widgets transparent
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QDialog dialog;
dialog.setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("#LolButton{color: transparent; background-color: transparent;}"));
QPushButton button(&dialog);
button.setText("Button");
button.setObjectName(QStringLiteral("LolButton"));
QObject::connect(&button,&QPushButton::clicked,[](){
QMessageBox msg;
msg.setText("LolButton omg");
msg.exec();
});
dialog.show();
return a.exec();
}
