[Geany-Users] Themes: Authoring & Editing

[Lex Trotman]

The main documentation is in the manual
https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#color-schemes-dialog
and https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#special-file-filetypes-common
and in the `filetypes.common` file `Menu->Tools->Configuration
files->filetypes.common` file itself.

Cheers
Lex
