I am used to green font; light red colouring, middle-gold colour for modules/classes and greyish for comments. Is there a way to easily define this for .rb files but also some other files? Or does it require some ctag-manipulation or anything complicated?
I will probably adjust to the geany-defaults, because geany is (objectively) a better editor at this point for me, but I'd love to see some kind of resemblance to the colours I used to use for many years.
Thanks!
PS: If this is a feature request, I am not sure if it can be changed easily, but for comparison, the nano editor uses a fairly simple format for modifying your .rc files.
For example:
color white "^ *(set|unset).*$" color cyan "^ *(set|unset) (autoindent|backup|const|cut|fill|keypad|multibuffer|noconvert|nofollow|nohelp|nowrap|operatingdir|preserve|q
I am not necessarily suggesting the same for geany, also because it is quite an ugly format - but the good thing is that it is a simple text format. I could even autogenerate these files but not sure if this is possible for geany; last time I read up about this it looked a bit complex to get support via different colours. Or perhaps there may be some option where this could be changed on an ad-hoc basis ... haven't found this yet though.
Geany is pretty good as-is though. The issues I have in general are really really minor, compared to the net-benefits of using geany so far.
The colouring for syntactic entities is defined by the colour scheme, some contributed ones have been collected [here](https://github.com/geany/geany-themes) which you can modify or make your own totally.
