You are best asking that on the Scintilla mailing list. Scintilla supports transparency for specific features, but in a strange way (possibly to avoid API incompatibilities). It shouldn't be difficult but it may have to be done in a specific way in order to be accepted. I would make sure it worked properly with Qt.
