Porting a theme to geany?

Open leighss opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, How would I go about porting a theme (Material) to Geany? Can I just take an annotated .conf file (is there one explaining entries?) and change the values? Probably naive, but I've got to start somewhere :) Any advice please? Apologies if this request is 'in the wrong place' I have some knowledge of German if resources only in this language Thanks

Yes.

There isn't any reference describing the colour scheme because its not hard coded anywhere, you define named colours and map them to syntactic entities. The format of the entries is described in the manual but that doesn't tell you the syntactic entities, thats best gotten from the actual filetypes.common file on your install as it can change from version to version (and isn't defined by the Geany project, but by the Scintilla editing widget project).

Thanks, All beyond me TBH, but I can at least now start to investigate and learn
