<p>But for people downloading the version for windows with gtk included we should provide an workaround either in the help</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Agreed. Either a <a href="https://wiki.geany.org" rel="nofollow">wiki entry</a> or even better a pull request improving <a href="https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#defining-own-widget-styles-using-gtkrc-2-0" rel="nofollow">the manual</a> would be much appreciated. I suspect most users don't fiddle with the GTK+ theme on Windows, so it hasn't been well documented yet.</p>

<p>So there is no analog with «...wanting a web browser's...» (unless the reference is for browsers that do not use window's theme but gtk's ) as codebrainz stated.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The analogy was to compare website CSS and browser window/widget themes to Scintilla editor widget themes and Geany window/widget themes. In the same way that CSS in a webpage doesn't control the appearance of the browser chrome/widgets, the Scintilla/editor area colour scheme in Geany doesn't affect the GTK+ theme. I stand by my apt analogy <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="smiley_cat" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f63a.png">😺</g-emoji></p>
