[Geany-Users] Gtk App Theming

[Mike Miller]

Hi,

Thanks all, have made some progress on theming the sidebar:

style "geanyStyle" {
     # text input
     base[NORMAL] = "#222222"
     text[NORMAL] = "#aaaaaa"
     # etc ...
}
widget "Geany*" style "geanyStyle"
# widget "GeanyDialogSearch.*.GtkEntry" style "geanyStyle"
# widget "GeanyDialog*.*.GtkEntry" style "widgets"  # std colors, doesn't work

It works.  As you can see this themes the search bar and dialog widgets also, 
which is mostly fine.  The only issue that bugs me is that it makes the dialog 
radio/checkbox buttons hard to read.  I tried to reset the dialogs but it didn't 
work.  I'm rarely in the preference dialog these days, so no big deal.

If anyone knows the path to the sidebar widget (or the autocomplete popup menu) 
it would be great.  Or a way to exclude radio/check buttons.  ;)
I didn't find anything in the links below, but may have missed it.
