<p>However, since not all Windows users have local admin rights, I suggest that Geany advices the user during installation to choose an install directory where he has full control.</p>

<p>I know on Linux you can put themes in <code>~/.themes</code> or <code>~/.local/share/themes</code> and they get picked up, there's probably some equivalent hidden directories on Windows that GTK+ looks for themes and stuff, which doesn't require Admin permissions. A quick Google suggests one or more of these might the place to put themes:</p>
<ul>
<li>C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/themes/</li>
<li>C:/Documents and Settings/username/.themes/</li>
<li>C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/themes/</li>
<li>C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/themes/</li>
</ul>
