Thanks. I didn't expect that it is so easy ;-).
But unfortunately, it is not so easy, too. The style(only tried to
change the font) is only applied on the main menu but not on the
submenus but I will have a look at this next week and hopefully will
find a way to get it working properly.

At the moment(SVN r1503) styles for the main window and for the
preferences dialog can be set. More widgets will follow soon.

I tried to document this a bit on
http://geany.uvena.de/manual/ch03s03.html#general_userstyles. But
probably it still can be improved ;-).

Regards,
Enrico
