Hi,
the themes, wont resolve the problem...I have tested oblivion2, and 
vibrant, and when autocompletions enter in action...the box list is 
background white, and foreground black...with the same problem, as 
before for the selected item :(

for what I understood via grep in the source code of the last Geany...at 
least some things related to autocompletion
came from /src/editor.c, and the config files for themes, etc, won't  be 
readed for the list box of autocompletion :S

so this parameters are only setted in code, which, I think it would be 
better to inherit the theme color scheme...
