Hey Frank, Checkout this page: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt.html
Here is the description for those two flags: Qt::Popup0x00000008 | WindowIndicates that the widget is a pop-up top-level window, i.e. that it is modal, but has a window system frame appropriate for pop-up menus.Qt::Tool0x0000000a | WindowIndicates that the widget is a tool window. A tool window is often a small window with a smaller than usual title bar and decoration, typically used for collections of tool buttons. If there is a parent, the tool window will always be kept on top of it. If there isn't a parent, you may consider using Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint as well. If the window system supports it, a tool window can be decorated with a somewhat lighter frame. It can also be combined with Qt::FramelessWindowHint. Glad it helped!
