Hi there,

  my experience with CSS is that you have to take it slow, with small changes, and increment your customizations as you understand more of it.

  I found this (unrelated) post: https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/issues/313#issuecomment-861567842 which may help you start.

  What I found so far:

- the ~/.config/geany/geany.css file does not seem to have an influence on the tab styling

- the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file DOES override the gtk theme styling

  I've attached the gtk.css file I used for my test to this message. When applied, together with my default GTK theme, WhiteSur-Dark-solid, it looks like this (on macos):

  I hope this helps.

  Cheers,

I cut and pasted that into new file: /root/.config/geany/geany.css and I
get this msg:


(geany:3288): Geany-WARNING **: 08:20:34.428: Failed to load custom CSS:
geany.css:1:0Expected a valid selector

... but at least I'm understanding the idea of having the custom file
rather than changing the stock file, so there is that.  As to the
content above, I'm the world's ultimate non-expert as to this stuff but
the look of the first line is not like anything I've ever seen.
