The version of GTK is a build time setting for all released Geany
versions, but the latest git is indeed GTK3 only.

To tell the version of GTK see a message near the top of Help->Debug Messages.

If it is GTK3 (likely) then it no longer uses gtkrc files, it now uses
GTK CSS.  There are some in $PREFIX/share/geany and you can put your
own geany.css in your config directory to override whatever you need
to.
