How Can I Add, and Use, a Color Scheme for Geany?

I have found that one of my favorite text editors for programming is Geany, however the default color scheme is very bright and hurts my eyes when programming for awhile. There are other color schemes available for Geany but no clear way for installing and using them. Anyone have an idea?

You can invert the scheme:

Edit → Preferences → Editor → Display → Check: Invert highlighter color scheme.

The alt scheme is in (You may test if can add other one or just modify this one)
```
/usr/share/geany/colorschemes/alt.conf
```
Note: How did I found this?

I check for geany packages using synaptic. Looking in their Installed Files tab then it was found in geany-common package.
