    Description

      I was migrating all the projects I've been working on from Qt5 to Qt6 to take advantage of the new Material 3 implementation in Qt Quick Controls, when I realized that all my splash screens and all the custom window decorations (rounded corners or translucid title bars) are broken.

      Check and run this simple example with the qml tool. At least on Microsoft Windows, the alpha channel is not respected anymore when used as window color:

      import QtQuick.Controls

ApplicationWindow {
    width: 200
    height: 200
    visible: true
    flags: Qt.SplashScreen | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint
    color: "transparent" // this doesn't work in Qt 6.5.0
}

      I've tried other flags and changing the color (e.g. #00FF0000) without success. It still shows a 200x200 semitransparent rectangle.
