I don't think that you can get fading effects directly from QStackedWidget.

However, you can easily achieve the effect you need by using QPropertyAnimation and QStateMachine. You can find how to do it in Animation/States example (should be in /qt/examples/animation/states/ subdirectory of your Qt installation).
