How do I place the QScrollBar on the content of the QScrollArea?

Question

I want to make a scrollbar that fades in and out depending on usage. I subclassed QScrollBar and got the look that I want. The problem is that the scrollbar is placed next to the content. How do I instead make it go on top of the content?

Answer 1

I created a new QScrollbar which I connected to the original via signals and then used widget->setParent and then widget->setGeometry() to paint it on top
