[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Apply Theme to Side Bar (#1344)

[Anthony van Orizande]

My OS is Windows 7.

I get what both codebrainz and elextr are saying.  And I understand... to an extent....

The thing is that code is not like a web page.  In a webpage the layout and color scheme are all designed by the content creator to create a message.

Source code does not have its own color scheme.  The color scheme is chosen by the developer who is working with the code.   The primary purpose is to make their work more efficient and pleasant by creating helpful contrast between different types of elements and content and to reduce eye strain since we stare at code long and hard.

My system colors are lighter for regular use but when working with code I like my IDE colors to be more muted (bespin).   That creates an overly strong contrast between the Code window and the Geany side bar and Scratch area.

Notepad++ deals with that by having the styling also apply to the search area and the function list.

I was hoping that Geany could do something similar.
