[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Unified colour scheme (#2196)

[Matthew Brush]

> But a colour scheme contains no information that its light or dark so even if Geany can determine from the GTK theme that it is dark, it can't select a colour scheme since they are not marked light or dark, and even if they were, which one is the best to select as a dark version of whatever the user has chosen as their light colour scheme.

Currently a few themes use the convention of `foo-light.conf` and `foo-dark.conf` for the light/dark variants of a theme, which I suppose could be formalized. It'd have to be not annoying though, perhaps controlled by a preference or something, so that people who like to use a light editor colour scheme with a dark GTK+ theme or vice versa could opt-out somehow (or make it opt-in).

And of course, as with everything, it requires someone who cares enough for the feature to actually design and implement it.
