Show animated popup Panel with transparent background?

Post by moto3101 »

Hello together,

is there a way to popup a panel with a transparent background and no borders (similar to a browser notification, which flows in from the upper right corner)?

We do have an animated notification which is dynamically inserted in a panel with add symbol (quite similar to the notification function when using the WinCC OA Standard Panel for renaming Datapoints).
However, we would also like to have the possibility to show a notification in a new module and load a panel with a transparent background inside to trigger an animation at an arbitrary position on the desktop.

I tried to set the panel background to invisible, but it still shows a grey background.


Thanks in advance for your help! If my explanation was unclear, please let me know.

Best regards,
moTo

I could not find a solution to get a transparent panel background.
You can possibly use windowOpacity() to reach the goal. Then you will still the background of the panel but also the elements in the background are "visible".

It is apparently a feature that is hidden too well for our support.
Under windows it only works with frameless windows (without borders).
