[Geany] possible bug: changing syntax highlighting

Hi,

I was trying to create my own Ruby syntax highlighting color scheme,
so I copied filetypes.ruby into ~/.geany/filedefs and started
modifying that copy.

I wanted a dark theme, so changed all the 0xffffff's for background to
0x5d5d5d -- including, of course, the one for "default". Trouble is, I
think there's a bug, because it doesn't color the rest of the window
background 0x5d5d5d -- just the background of the text.

Looking for a solution, I then copied filetypes.common into
~/.geany/filedefs and changed *its* "default" background value to
0x5d5d5d, and then the change took for the whole window with the Ruby
file. Fine. But, trouble is, doing that sets the window background
color for *all* the other filetypes, which clashes with their light
colorschemes.
