I'm not big on creating GUI's, and generally my philosophy is: I don't create them, or I make them as simple as possible (and convince myself that it's better for usability :)

For my current project, I'm using Qt from Python (PyQt), and I want to start adding some GUI elements without cluttering the interface.

My idea is to create these elements as sort of floating-shaped-widgets that only appear when necessary; pretty much like the status bar (and find bar) in chrome.

Is there any standard api that enables creating this kind of interface?
