how often do you switch from dark to light?
Usually multiple times a day, depending on my needs :)
I defined a keyboard shortcut for this to make it easy to toggle between light and dark mode. All apps I'm using adjust colors automatically - except the Geany editor widget. Most websites I visit regularly adjust automatically, too.
even if Geany can determine from the GTK theme that it is dark, it can't select a colour scheme since they are not marked light or dark
What if Geany lets the user choose a light and a dark theme for the editor widget (instead of only one theme as it is now). Would that make things easier?
