Even though I love geany, the lack of a true dark ui in windows was one of the main problems (if not the main one).
Finally I've found an easy trick to get a dark UI, so I'm sharing it here. It works with Geany 1.37 and probably with earlier versions using GTK2. No need for a GTK3 build.
Steps.
- Go to the following page. It's a GTK2 dark theme for Inkscape. We're
gonna basically use it for Geany. It works. https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1304466/
- Download the dark theme from the github repository. You have the link in
the page linked in step 1. Or just click here: https://github.com/SimBotBiz/inkscape-dark-theme
- Go to '[Geany root folder]\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0'. There
you'll find a file called 'gtkrc'. Rename it as 'gtkrc-backup-original'.
- In the zip file downloaded from github, go to
share>themes>Ms-Windows>gtk-2-0. There you have both a file named 'gtkrc' and a folder named 'ui'. Copy both of them in the folder in the step 3.
- And that's all. After it, Geany in windows should look like this:
Good info. If you feel like it, it would be cool to add to the wiki[0] under the "Windows Related" howtos section (or wherever you think it fits best).
