[Geany] [ANNOUNCEMENT] website rework

[Lex Trotman]

Hi Dominic,

I'd urge caution in the choice of colours since they can interact badly with
themes.  Keeping the current muted colours is better IMO.  A dark background
with light text is significantly different to most other pages and so is
likely to be a surprise to most users.  And I got totally over green text
terminals back in 1975 ;-)

Note to those who still get a white background on the Geany homepage, I had
to apply a theme (even if it was supposed to be the default for my
distribution) before the background went grey.  Firefox bug, gnome bug, who
knows??

Cheers
Lex
