Hi,

We don't add distro-specific information on the main README, mostly because 
that'd be a *lot* of information which might get outdated pretty fast without 
us knowing, and because such information are generally better stored in the 
dirstro's docs itself.  However, we are happy to have distro-specific 
information or tips [on the wiki](https://wiki.geany.org/) -- feel free to add 
any useful info for Kali Linux.

This said, I'm wondering what the script you linked is really doing?  I see 
that it *uninstalls* Geany from the distro's repositories, removes 
*/root/.config/geany*, and then installs the Geany and Geany-Plugins packages 
from the same repositories. After that, it follows the geany-themes 
instructions for installing it.
It eludes me why one has to uninstall Geany and then reinstall it from the same 
source?  Also, removing */root/.config/geany* is questionable IMO: this 
directory most likely shouldn't exist, because we recommend against running 
Geany as root, but if it does exist, I wouldn't expect all users to want it 
gone.
Finally, if Kali is not packaging geany-themes and you'd like it to, maybe you 
could ask them for it :)
