I forgot to mention, the relevant bit for your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 would be:

style "geanymenubar" = "default"
{
	blah
}
widget "Geany*.GeanyMenubar*" style "geanymenubar"

And 'blah' needs to be replaced with the proper bits to override the
themes default styling of the menubar.

To be honest, I have no idea what has to be overridden to get it
working, I also don't know much about GTK theming :(.

But I know Olivier Fourdan, the Xfce window manager and theming guru
and also a Geany user :). IIRC he wrote the default Xfce theme and
probably know how to change it. Just ask him (and say greetings from
Enrico, maybe that helps, maybe that makes it worse, haha).

Regards,
Enrico
