[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Fix search marker translucency (currently ignoring scheme) (#1490)

[elextr]

Agree its a problem worth solving, 

The MARKER_TRANSLUCENCY background value has already been used for the translucency of a margin marker.  It is probably better not to use it for two unrelated things, and not to change an existing usage.

I don't know where the comment in filetypes.common came from, the translucency has been fixed as far back as I looked (2010).  The setting being used for a margin marker may be a confusion between "mark", "marker" and "indicator" that is used as a marker.  

The thing to do is to make a new setting adding it to `filetypes.common` as a named style with the default 60 and then using the named style in the styling section.  Then colour schemes can change it to suit themselves.

Would probably be good to make `translucency` and `marker_translucency` named styles as well "while you are there" ;-).
