I understand the reason, but what I don't understand is how to "port"
my old theme settings to the new system.

Copying filetypes.php to ~/.config/geany/filedefs and editing
[styling] does not work and I can't seem to find any documentation on
how to fix this. 'geany-dark-scheme' seems to be abandoned as the last
release was in March 2010...


Any pointers on how I can re-enable my scheme for .php files?

I already disabled project support, so I can restart Geany without
having to fetch coffee for all my collegues ;)

I'm a big advocate on using Geany as editor here at work, but even
Eclipse is faster and less resource-happy with tag generation. 4
minutes to open or close an application is not really acceptable for
many users, including myself.

Tag generation is the only reason I (have to) use a project plugin.
