Thats probably the GTK theme, you could try setting it with the .gtkrc
file.  Note that it works out of the box fine on Mint 18 Cinnamon with
with Mint light and dark themes producing tooltips the same as other
apps,( eg the default Mint text edit app) which suggests its a global
theme setting.

Note that Mint do try to make themes for KDE and GTK applications the
same for their themes, but if you use a non-Mint theme that may not be
the case.

`File->Open` shows the open dialog box, did you mean `File->New(with
template)` which opens a list of templates.  The hint is in the menu
name, you need to delete the templates you don't want from
`$(prefix)/share/geany/templates` and `~/.geany/templates`.

Filetypes with config files of the form `filetype.XXX.conf` can be
removed by deleting the file from `$(prefix)/share/geany` or
`$(prefix)/share/geany/filedefs` in newer Geany versions.  But
filetypes with config files of the form `filetypes.XXX` are built-in
and cannot be removed (without C programming and re-compile) and
deleting the filetypes file may have unwanted side effects if you
accidentally open one of those files.
