Problems with using themes in Geany

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4143 / 2 Years ago, sun, january 2, 2022, 4:30:07

I'm trying to switch to the Geany editor for my web development but need to switch to a dark theme. In searching for some default themes I came across this excellent collection.

I've now installed the themes and they appear when I go to View -> Editor -> Color and I can select one. However, selecting a theme does nothing.

I am running Geany 0.20 (the latest version on Ubuntu 11.10) and have tried installing the new version and the deprecated version of the themes but get the same from both.

Happened with me too , you need to copy all the colorschemes in ~/.config/geany/colorschemes and the next step which was not mentioned anywhere is you also need to copy the files in filedefs folder in the zip to corresponding folder in ~/.config/geany/filedefs and then it will start working !!
