I've tried this in the past with qt top most windows etc but no luck. Anyone know if this is even possible. Appreciate the help thank you!

1What has got VMWare to do with this? – santahopar Jul 27 '20 at 21:24

I want the software to run on the host but be displayed as an overlayed window/hud on a vmware workstation guest in full-screen. Thank you for response! – user3518111 Jul 27 '20 at 21:27

You can make the window opaque by calling `setWindowOpacity()`, I believe it's a `QWidget` method. Another method you can play with is `setAttribute()` with `Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground`, `Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground` or other values of the enum. There is no need to make the window topmost afaik. – santahopar Jul 28 '20 at 02:10
