Color Schemes

TODO: add stuff from geany.org Extras page.

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.
