Outreachy Dec 2023 - Implement Qt/KDE Frameworks theming using native Qt widgets

[Omkar Acharekar]

Hello Everyone,

       My Name is Omkar Acharekar. I am excited to share with you that I
will be working this next months on "Implement Qt/KDE Frameworks theming
using native Qt widgets (Weld interface)" project as part of the Outreachy
internship, under mentorship of Michael Weghorn and Heiko Tietze.

     The project aim is to refine the UI of Qt/KDE Frameworks by making use
of native Qt widgets through the Weld interface. Currently, the Qt-based
VCL plugins just implement the drawing of QStyle-themed LibreOffice VCL
widgets.These mostly look like Qt widgets, but their behavior is
controlled by LibreOffice.This results in behaviour that differs from
applications implemented using native Qt widgets, including bugs. From
2018, a new theming API ( Weld API ) has been created. Implementing the
needed interfaces in WELD API for the Qt-based VCL plugins by using native
Qt widgets for the UI is the main task of the Outreachy project.

     Bugzilla issue :
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130857

     I'm truly thankful for this opportunity and look forward to
collaborating with mentors and all of you. Also throughout this internship,
I'll be sharing my weekly progress through a mailing list. If you have any
suggestions / insights related to the project, please let me know. You can
find me on IRC with the name Omkar67


Best Regards
Omkar
