@malaire @codebrainz I agree it would be very nice to have Elm syntax highlighting so I started thinking about how to create it based on Sublime's

Luckly Elm is very similar to Haskell so if you change your Elm filetype to Haskell (Document > Set Filetype > Programming Languages > Haskell) the result will be slightly satisfactory

In order to make this behavior automatic I had to edit the /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf and append *.elm; to the line Haskell=*.hs;*.lhs;*.hs-boot;*.lhs-boot;. Its important to end the line with the semicolon. After that I closed and reopened Geany. When I opened a new Elm file the Haskell highlight syntax was applied

Apparently one could fine tune the syntax highlighter for Elm by editing the file "/usr/share/geany/filetypes.haskell"

From here the more demanding individual could create an Elm synax highlighter by inferring the config files structure
