Dear all, in a previous post (Masked widget glitch) I asked suggestions about making an arrow-like widget (see picture in [1]). The old and bad code used a mask, but it had a glitch, as you see in the picture; however, the workaround was easy: doing show, hide, show. Ugly but it worked.
I was suggested to move my code to a new QWidget subclass, painting the background, but now I'm finding it hard to create even the simplest form. What I've achieved so far is very lousy (see picture in [2]): the ugly hack I've used before seems better than this one. Can anyone help me understand how to draw a good-looking widget? Thanks & Cheers!
