It probably depends on which port you are using. For example with Qt I
think you need to do something like this:

        QPalette palette = mWebView->palette();
        palette.setBrush(QPalette::Base, transparent);
        mWebView->page()->setPalette(palette);
        mWebView->setAttribute(WA_OpaquePaintEvent, false);
        mWebView->setAttribute(WA_NoSystemBackground, true);
