OK, I tested and I see the problem: I'm not sure why, but they manually
mapped comment styles to (partial) colors (";0xfcfcfc;;true", which is
"foreground;background;bold;italic", see
https://geany.org/manual/#styling-section).  This won't play nice with a
custom color scheme, here a dark one.

You have 2 options:

1) (which I'd recommend) remove all content of the [styling] section in
filetypes.Ring.conf, and replace that section with [styling=C].  It
means inheriting from the C filetype, which is the one containing the
definitions (because filetypes.Ring.conf uses lexer_filtype=C).  I have
no idea why they manually mapped all comment styles to a custom value,
but so they did...

2) the override they have is the "default" style, with background
0xfcfcfc, and italics.  You could replace this with either ";;;true" or
"default,italic" to still use the "default" style mostly, but with
italics.  Not sure if it's actually any better than using the regular
comment styles though...

In any case, I suggest you submit an issue/patch upstream for them to
use a filetype that will play nicely with colorschemes (and especially
not be terribly broken with dark ones, as it seems to be fashion nowadays).

Regards,
Colomban


PS: actually, in any case it'd be better to use [styling=C] and only
include overrides meant to exist in that section, that'd remove
duplication, and avoid breaking if the lexer gains new styles.
