How set opacity on QGraphicsItem

Question

Hello,

i have a inherited from QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsItem to create my own classes. I use Qt 4.6.

I want to set a specific opacity on each items of my scene. I use setOpacity : setOpacity method, but its not the result i hope. I want to have for example one item opaque and an other transparent (to see the desktop, or the other application).

But if i dont set the opacity of the QGraphicsView to 0.5, i have not the transparancy. And if the QGraphicsView is set to 0.5, the item is not real opaque.

What should i do ?

Thanks you.

setOpacity method is transparent, but only transparent to the background of the graphics scene, not the widget, if you want see the desktop, you need set the widget(dialog, mainwindow etc..)'s opaque.
