I just upgraded to Linux Mint 18 (KDE), and am using Geany ver 1.27.

Two questions:

1. The tooltip (when I hover on the toolbar buttons) -- is very unreadable

(white on a light-grey background). Anyone know how to change the colors?

Thats probably the GTK theme, you could try setting it with the .gtkrc file. Note that it works out of the box fine on Mint 18 Cinnamon with with Mint light and dark themes producing tooltips the same as other apps,( eg the default Mint text edit app) which suggests its a global theme setting.

Note that Mint do try to make themes for KDE and GTK applications the same for their themes, but if you use a non-Mint theme that may not be the case.

2. When I go to File - Open, there are about 20 different file types. Since

I only use about 3 or 4, how do I delete all the others? I've tried to delete filetypes from here: /usr/share/geany/

`File->Open` shows the open dialog box, did you mean `File->New(with template)` which opens a list of templates. The hint is in the menu name, you need to delete the templates you don't want from `$(prefix)/share/geany/templates` and `~/.geany/templates`.

And I've edited this file: filetype_extensions.conf

But I still keep getting over 20 different file types? How can I customize to just 3 or 4 different filetypes that I use?

Filetypes with config files of the form `filetype.XXX.conf` can be removed by deleting the file from `$(prefix)/share/geany` or `$(prefix)/share/geany/filedefs` in newer Geany versions. But filetypes with config files of the form `filetypes.XXX` are built-in and cannot be removed (without C programming and re-compile) and deleting the filetypes file may have unwanted side effects if you accidentally open one of those files.

Thanks.
