    Description

      When using QBackingStore to render raster in QWindow on Linux it is enough to add to constructor of child class of QWindow (as described in docs https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#setFormat) :

      {
         ...
      
         QSurfaceFormat fmt = format(); 
         fmt.setAlphaBufferSize(8); 
         setFormat(fmt);
      
         create();
      
         ...
         //new QBackingStore(this)
      }

      and background becomes transparent.

      On MacOS with the same code it is filled with gray color.
