I hope you are doing well. My name is Adarsh Gupta, and I am submitting my proposal for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 with LibreOffice. My project focuses on
<b>Re-designing the Notebookbar using Native Toolkit Widgets</b>, with the goal of improving UI consistency, maintainability, and toolkit compatibility by replacing custom widgets with the VCL weld mechanism.</div>

I am currently pursuing my M.Tech in Computer Science at IIT Bombay, with a strong interest in open-source development, UI frameworks, and software engineering. I have experience in C++, GTK, and UI design, and I have actively contributed to open-source projects
like IfcOpenShell, Organic Maps, and ScummVM. My technical background, combined with my passion for clean and maintainable UI frameworks, makes me excited about contributing to LibreOffice through this project.</div>

I have explored the LibreOffice codebase, set up the development environment, and studied the VCL weld mechanism. I am eager to start contributing, and I would appreciate any guidance on how I can begin working on relevant issues related to the Notebookbar
or UI redesign.</div>

I have attached my GSoC proposal for your review. I would love to get your feedback on how I can improve my approach and implementation plan. Additionally, if you could suggest any
<b>tasks or issues</b> that I can start working on right away, I would be happy to contribute before the official coding period begins.</div>

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions. Please let me know if I should refine any parts of my proposal. Thank you for your time and guidance!</div>
