Hi, I am a proud user of Geany on Windows XP and I was just wondering if there is a way to change the background colour of the editor

Yes, but unfortunately, it isn't very comfortable.
For general information, please read the manual[1]. There is described how to change the colours used for syntax highlighting. Probably, you want to use the "invert_all" option in filetypes.common.
Perhaps, the discussion on [2] will also help you.
If you need more help or have any other questions, please just ask.

Thanks for the answer. The invert did exactly what I was looking for! I also have another question which might seem a bit silly but I am not very experienced a coding. What is the reason of existence of the vertical line , parallel to the sidebar, in the editor area? Does it influence the code? Can I alter the distance between it and the sidebar? cause the distance is 32 caracthers right now and seems to me a bit annoying.
Thanks in advance

That's the 'long line marker', you can change all about it in Edit->Preferences->Editor->Long line marker. It's there to mark a specific line length, useful i.e. to keep your mails nicely wrapped at <80 columns.

But it is only usefull, if you us proportional fonts ;)

You can also use non-proportional fonts and setting the long line marker to background and not line.
It doesn't influence the code in any way, it's just a visual help for you to quickly see how long the lines are.
