For some historical perspective, when Geany was first written it used GTK+ 2.4, and the GtkAboutDialog was added in GTK+ 2.6. I guess since it's already written and looks/works fine, nobody bothered to port it to use `GtkAboutDialog`.
Not that it's a bad idea, but I suspect it would require more custom code than just using the helper function as above since Geany has some special ["features"](c330f54) in the about dialog. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
