I used Qt4 for a few years and never found an easy way to run a widget outside the context of a window. Maybe I didn't check the docs closely, maybe it's better in Qt6. I stopped working on GUIs a while back. Fwiw HTML and xaml were just as bad for that.

It is unbelievable what people complain about with GUI toolkits. Nothing short of "does not do my homework" seems to be the limit of complaints. Let's get this straight: You want to paint a widget without a normal window border. This is not normal. It would be difficult even using native UI APIs. Also, Qt4 was last released in 2011. That was nearly 12 years ago. Maybe... try again? Also, you can Google: qt widget without window border Plenty of hits.
