You mean the project at http://code.google.com/p/geany-dark-scheme/ ?

That project doesn't even support .php files! ;)

I use Geany because it's an easy to use but feature rich application. If

On a side note: every time I change my color scheme, I loose my
customizations in the filetypes.common file ;)
