I'm using python 3.6.5 and PyQt 5.10.1.
I was trying with this simple code to have background transparency and after to add this feature to qutebrowser.

But it doesn't work. I have a webpage with a white background. Have someone an idea or a clue that could help me to fix it ?
Do you think it could be done with QWebEnginePage ?
Try it:
import sys
import argparse
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
def parse_args():
"""Parse commandline arguments."""
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('url', help='The URL to open')
return parser.parse_known_args()[0]
if __name__ == '__main__':
args = parse_args()
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
wv = QWebEngineView()
wv.loadStarted.connect(lambda: print("Loading started"))
wv.loadProgress.connect(lambda p: print("Loading progress: {}%".format(p)))
wv.loadFinished.connect(lambda: print("Loading finished"))
wv.setWindowFlags(Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
wv.setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground, True)
#wv.setStyleSheet("background:transparent;")
wv.load(QUrl.fromUserInput(args.url))
wv.setWindowOpacity(0.6) # +++
wv.setWindowFlags(Qt.WindowStaysOnBottomHint) # +++
wv.show()
app.exec_()
