The docs are a bit confuzzling, but I'm fairly sure you need to use NOTIFYICONDATA.hBalloonIcon. Vista or better required.

A: 

The QSystemTrayIcon class has a simple balloon message option available (QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage) but it only provides a few icon choices and a text message. If you want to customize it beyond that, you would have to write a custom QWidget and display that or use some OS specific library calls if they are available.

The source code for QSystemTrayIcon includes the code for the balloon widget that it uses so that may help with writing your own.
