Color Schemes
TODO: add stuff from geany.org Extras page.
geany-themes
geany-themes is a project created by Matthew Brush (me) and contributed to by several Geany developers. The goal of the project is to create a uniform set of filedefs (file definitions) that all use the same semantics so that when one creates a colour scheme, it will apply to all of Geany's supported filetypes/languages. This is possible using Geany's built-in named-style and colour schemes support.
The project source includes a decent selection of popular (and not so popular) colour schemes, both light and dark. There is work underway to enable automatic conversion of colour schemes from other IDEs/Editors to Geany.
To install geany-themes, you can just copy all the files in the `filedefs` directory to the directory under `~/.config/geany` with the same name. Likewise for the `colourschemes` directory. All you need to do then is restart Geany and you'll be able to apply the colour schemes through the `View→Editor→Colour Schemes` menu. See the README file for more information.
Using the Geany Manual and the existing colour schemes, it should be pretty straight-forward to figure out how to add your own theme. Send a pull request on GitHub if you want to have your theme added. Please report any issues through the Issues section on the GitHub project page.
