Hi,
First of all thanks a lot for creating Geany. I use it regularly for almost everything.
I created a dark theme for Geany using the filetypes a while back for relaxing my eyes when I had to work for a long period of time. I like this dark theme a lot and I thought of making it available to other users of Geany. It currently supports: C, Conf, C++, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, LaTeX, Makefile, PHP, Python, XML, and Common (Default) filetypes. You can find more details at:
http://www.eyecandycenter.com/2008/11/dark-theme-for-geany-ide/
I would be appreciated for any kind of feedback, bug report, or wish for improving this theme.
Best Wishes Amir

Looks fine!
I guess the best thing you could do is to contact the guys from the Dark scheme project (http://code.google.com/p/geany-dark-scheme/, you mentioned it in your blog post). Maybe your theme could be incorporated and so it could be more complete. Alternatively, you can add a link to your blog post yourself to http://www.geany.org/Download/Extras.

I tried your theme but didn't want to sign up to post on your blog. looks good. It's definitely a great package. Might inclue instructions on uninstalling, technically, I think geany uses /usr/share/geany/filetypes.* to configure this by default, and then overrides with ~/.geany/filedefs so hypothetically, you could just delete he files, but I wasn't sure which were part of the tar.gz, so I just copied from the defaults.
Thanks for your time and hard work.

Looks really good. I don't like those bright themes too, so this would be a good solution. Could you please post which GTK/Metacity themes and fonts you are using for your screenshots?
Thanks.

Are there any plans to add theme support to Geany core so that you can choose a theme from the menu?

Not really. It would just cause many new code and other code to be rewritten while this feature would probably used rather seldom unless you change the colour scheme twice every day.

I think it doesn't have to be complete themes necessarily (real theming should be done by GTK imho). But I'd surely be nice if some more filetype defs were shipped with Geany. That make easier to have e.g. such a dark theme consistent over all filetypes without editing dozens of filetype.* files.
But on the other hand, given that Geany is a tool for developers, the target audience is able (and probably willing) to do their own.
Just a matter of lazyness.

Well, I'm not sure whether we really should ship two or even more colour schemes (besides that it would be ugly to realise in terms of installing with autotools/waf/on Windows).
But the dark scheme project already exists. I think this could be a good place for people who like dark schemes. It's everything already there but it seems people do like to avoid realising this project?

Kind of, I guess the real audience isn't only developers anymore, it seems people use it for everything and this is cool :).

You mean the project at http://code.google.com/p/geany-dark-scheme/ ?
That project doesn't even support .php files! ;)

I use Geany because it's an easy to use but feature rich application. If I'd like to jump through hoops to get something done within my editor, I would have chosen something like Emacs ;)
On a side note: every time I change my color scheme, I loose my customizations in the filetypes.common file ;)

That's the problem: there is only one small part missing and so you skip it at all. But you could send them your filetypes.php (assuming you have one) and then it's a little more complete and the next user might get happy because then it has filetypes.php.
In short: just contribute.
On a side note: every time I change my color scheme, I loose my
Again, who often do you change the scheme?
customizations in the filetypes.common file ;)
Not completely sure what this means. Anyway, it was never intended to provide a full scheming support in terms of instantly switching different themes. In those files there are also other settings stored, especially in filetypes.common. Syntax colours can be customized, this is the feature we support, full scheming including switching schemes we don't support really.
Of course we could change that but keep in mind that: a) our days are also limited to 24hours b) splitting all this causes more files to be installed, to read, to write, to maintain and such. More code to handle them.

99%(+) of the options and settings are static here. Once set to my personal preference I never/seldom change them again.
I do believe that offering a light and dark scheme for all supported languages would be a welcome addition since that's the first question I get after installing Geany. ;)

I think Geany should support one common styling file (not to be confused with filetypes.common). Then writing other schemes would only mean adding one configuration file.
This would be quite a lot of work, changing all the default highlighting.c code to reference a common styling file, but I think it would be worth it.
If we implemented that, I think a menu to change between common styling files would be reasonable to have.

Having all in one file would be easier to switch between different schemes. But it would also make partial updates harder, maybe.
Well, no idea. For me, there are bigger problems than the styling stuff. Maybe because I don't have problems with the default styles.
