I have Windows 7, but the C:\Users..... directory exists here too.

Do I *have* to change the theme in the .gtkrc-2.0 file? I like Geany's
"Standard" color schema and would prefer not changing it.

How can I find out? Isn't this term only be used with Apple's Retina

has the usual resolution, so I guess the answer is "no".
