I will leave it here in case it helps someone. I am using the following style
in my _geany.css_:
```css
#geany-compiler-error {
color: #FF7987;
}
#geany-compiler-message {
color: #DFDBFF;
}
#geany-compiler-context {
color: #FEC0E0;
}
```
It has been easy to read the compiler
Real CSS has a property like this:
```css
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg);
```
But since GTK+ CSS is not real/complete CSS, I doubt it works.

Its true, but we can pick bright colours instead of the dark ones currently
implemented. Its very likely that it will give a

I guess that still has the problem that we have no idea what GTK+ theme the
user will choose, so it's not really possible to pick properly contrasting
I thought of something. I guess people in this community are really geek and
like to tweak a CSS file. But I believe most users of dark themes don't really
want to think of colours to customize _geany.css_ so the contrast between the
letters and background is reasonable. My solution would be to
@b4n, ok, so long as whatever mechanism is simple for users to override if the
theme is inappropriate, not all themes are done well, and when it comes to
colours peoples vision differs markedly.
And the override is documented in the Geany manual!!! [getting in ahead of time]

@elextr well, yes and no; in theory you can't really get any color from CSS, as
there might not be any -- could be image, gradient or whatnot, although it's
less true for text. What you would normally do is use the appropriate CSS
class and it'd be styled the right way whatever that is.

Good idea for the default if not user custom colour is
I think there are style classes for that yes.

I wonder if it's possible to access the colours based on `GtkMessageType` like
`GtkInfoBar` does, so they come from the theme? This is sort of like web CSS
frameworks that provide basic colours for ex. warning, danger, primary, etc.

I had a idea. It would involve a little bit code. As my original idea, we would
do some basic calculations to detect light and dark themes through
_GtkStyleContext_, then load _geany.css_ or _geany-dark.css_ accordingly. I
think this solution is more maintainable than caring for every theme. It
One workaround that has been implemented in e.g. MATE's file manager Caja is
the ability to load custom CSS based on theme name. E.g., we could imagine try
and load geany-$THEME.css, if it exists. That would clearly not be perfect,
but could allows us (or the user) to provide support for some

Thanks for the offer, I guess advanced GTK versions can be required so long as
the CSS is properly guarded so olde versions ignore it and don't give errors.
I'm no expert on GTK CSS and I don't know if it can determine if a theme is
"dark" to only apply in that case, but perhaps its possible.
Even when I use stable dark themes, the colors aren't that good to be read for
me. I have looked some other mechanisms, but it would involve advanced GTK
versions and a little bit of code tweak. I thought i would be able to
contribute to Geany project, but it may have to be a next time.

Yes, you need to check what your particular GTK version supports.
The basic premise is that (apart from the editor window) all theming should use
the normal GTK mechanism, so having code play with colours is a "bad idea"™.
Anything that doesn't is a bug.
Of course that leaves Geany users at
I have tried to use **@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)**, but it says
```
(geany:17276): Geany-WARNING **: 18:47:50.165: Failed to load custom CSS:
geany.css:1:0unknown @ rule
```
Maybe it is a gtk version thing. Since it must be configured through CSS, i
don't think it is a good idea change
Wouldn't it be nice to implement an functional default for dark themes?

Colours are configurable, see [the
manual](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#customizing-geany-s-appearance-using-gtk-3-css)
