QSplashScreen-Replacement-for-Semitransparent-Images

En Ar Bg De El Es Fa Fi Fr Hi Hu It Ja Kn Ko Ms Nl Pl Pt Ru Sq Th Tr Uk Zh

The CSplashScreen class can be used as a replacement for the Qt class QSplashScreen if semitransparent images using an alpha channel with more than 1 bit needs to be used.

The new class tries to mimic as much as possible the functionality and appearance of the original QSplashScreen class and only misses a few methods to keep this code snipped as simple as possible.

In the implementation all comes down to use a QFrame with the Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground attribute and emulate the functionality of QSplashScreen.
