[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Is it easily possible to change the colours for certain file associations? (#2143)

[rubyFeedback]

I am used to green font; light red colouring, middle-gold colour
for modules/classes and greyish for comments. Is there a way to
easily define this for .rb files but also some other files? Or
does it require some ctag-manipulation or anything complicated?

I will probably adjust to the geany-defaults, because geany is
(objectively) a better editor at this point for me, but I'd love
to see some kind of resemblance to the colours I used to use
for many years.

Thanks!

PS: If this is a feature request, I am not sure if it can be changed
easily, but for comparison, the nano editor uses a fairly simple
format for modifying your .rc files. 

For example:

color white "^ *(set|unset).*$"
color cyan "^ *(set|unset) (autoindent|backup|const|cut|fill|keypad|multibuffer|noconvert|nofollow|nohelp|nowrap|operatingdir|preserve|q

I am not necessarily suggesting the same for geany, also because it
is quite an ugly format - but the good thing is that it is a simple
text format. I could even autogenerate these files but not sure if
this is possible for geany; last time I read up about this it looked a
bit complex to get support via different colours. Or perhaps there
may be some option where this could be changed on an ad-hoc
basis ... haven't found this yet though.

Geany is pretty good as-is though. The issues I have in general are
really really minor, compared to the net-benefits of using geany so
far.
