QTJambi and Webkit, problems with transparent background

Hi everybody !

I have a very persistent problem with QTJambi and Webkit.

Here is what I want to do.

I want to load a web interface coded in an HTML file (it works), put some interactions between Javascript and Java (it works too), display the web interface with transparent background over another widget which displays images (a 2D game scenery) and it works too as long as the web interface is static.

Problems come when the web interface is changing (DOM and css manipulations). When it changes, the previous web view rendering is not cleared and the new rendering is painted over.
So, I have such rendering :

I understand how it works : a rectangle with the background color is displayed to hide the previous rendering and display the new one over. But the background color is transparent. So it hides nothing.

I tried some solutions I found on the web with composition modes but it doesn’t work. I have the same problem or a black screen.

Here is my code.

HTML file :


<html>
    <head>
	   <meta charset="utf-8" />
       
       <style>
           #body
           {
               position: absolute; 
	           left: 0px; 
	           right: 0px; 
                top: 0px; 
	           bottom: 0px; 
	           overflow: hidden;
           }
           
           
            #button
            {
                position: absolute; 
                left: 20px; 
                top: 20px; 
                background-color: rgba(255, 100, 100, 0.1); 
                padding: 10px; 
                box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px rgb(0, 0, 0); 
                border-radius: 5px; 
            }
           
           #token
            {
                position: absolute; 
                left: 200px; 
                top: 20px; 
                background-color: rgba(100, 255, 100, 0.1); 
                padding: 10px; 
                box-shadow: 0px 2px 5px rgb(0, 0, 0); 
                border-radius: 5px; 
            }
           
           #console
           {
               background-color: rgba(100, 100, 255, 0.1); 
               position: absolute; 
               left: 20px; 
               right: 20px; 
               top: 100px; 
               bottom: 20px; 
               padding: 10px; 
               overflow: auto; 
           }

public class WebBrowserTestQWebView extends QWebView

		// Clears the previous web view rendering and here is the problem 
		QPainter painter = new QPainter(this); 
		painter.setCompositionMode(QPainter.CompositionMode.CompositionMode_Source); 
		painter.fillRect(event.rect(), Qt.GlobalColor.transparent); 
		painter.setCompositionMode(QPainter.CompositionMode.CompositionMode_SourceOver); 	

		super.paintEvent(event); 
	}
}


Thank you in advance. :slight_smile:
