Thank you for your answer.

I would expect your browser does not turn pages dark when the desktop theme changes to a dark theme, it doesn't here.

It depends on your browser settings. If you set the theme to "System theme" in Firefox (and probably similar in other browsers) the browser itself and web pages can adjust to dark/light mode automatically (a setting in about:config may prevent this, though). You could test this e.g. with GitHub (while not logged in!), it works for me. More and more websites nowadays use the prefers-color-scheme CSS media feature to determine if a user wants a light or dark theme.

AFAICT many people want to keep the current situation since they grow used to the colours semantic meaning

Understandable. It took me some time to get used to the colors' semantic meaning of a second theme. Users who want to keep the current situation could just use the same scheme for dark and light mode.

Unfortunately I'm not able to design and implement this. So I'm now slowly moving away from Geany because it's cumbersome to manually change the scheme each time when toggling light/dark mode.

Geany has served me well during many years and I still think it's a great IDE/editor. Thanks a lot for all your work!
