[Geany] How to change background color

[daspostloch at googlemail.com]

Hi,

I also rolled my own dark .cpp recently. As a consequence, I am losing
my cursor in the split window plugin, because it is pure blinking black.
Is there an option to change its color as well?

Sorry for highjacking the thread, but it kind of fits :) Lacking a
homepage, I also attached my filetypes.cpp and .common for any folks
looking for further dark themes.

Best, Matt
