Q:

Insert temporaly image over widget

I want to insert an animation or image over a tabWidget with listWidget in it if the program is started for the first time or some specific setting is not set. For now it looks like this:

I want to replace the whole tabWidget without having to create it again, so just placing image or animation over the widget will work. Is this possible?

A:

If your tab widget was ui->myTab, then you can add a an widget over the tab using QWidget::setGeometry(x, y, width, height). For example, to add a button over the tab widget at position (5,10) with a size of 20x20:
QPushButton * refreshButton = new QPushButton(ui->myTab);
refreshButton ->setGeometry(5,10,20,20);
