I'm new to Qt C++. I downloaded the latest windows version, did some tutorials and its great.

I saw some styling options that the Qt framework has and its great, but now I need to build my application that its main windows (form) it designed/skinned with image without the rectangle borders (borderless?).

How can I do it with Qt?

Or maybe you're simply looking for this kind of flag: Qt::CustomizeWindowHint or simply Qt::FramelessWindowHint.
