Detailed Description

You can add acrylic widget to your Qt application window to add depth and and emphasize the hierarchy visually. Note: Rendering acrylic material surfaces is GPU intensive, which can slow down the application, increase the power consumption on the devices on which the application is running. Material widget adds Qt::AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings attribute to the application. Therefore, this can affect on your application which use native windows - for example, widgets with OpenGL.
