I'm not sure I understand your question, but...
You want to highlight the "current line" - where the "cursor" is (that
you call "the needle")? Is that correct?
In Geany themes, the cursor is called the caret (even though
In the geany theme, the "current_line" property controls *if* AND what
color is used for background.
Notice in the Himbeere.conf theme, he uses "current_line=;#000;true"
He's setting only the 2nd argument (using ;#000;true), but since the
current line color is near or = the normal background color, the
currently selected line color doesn't show up.
Conversely, on a light background theme (assume white), if you use
"current_line=;#DCFEDC;true" that gives a pale green background for
currently selected line.
I see now that the BG color (2nd argument) used in marker_line, gets
replaced w/ the "current_line" color, once the mouse cursor moves over
Geany's main display.
So if you want the current line to be colored, choose a current_line
color that contrasts just enough to see against the theme's normal
background, but not so dark that it obscures some text colors.
Another thing - if you / anyone has trouble finding the super thin
cursor, it can be made "bold" - which makes it several times wider than
default size.
caret=#09A709;#000;true;false makes a dark green, wide cursor that
covers most of a normal sized letter or number.
Some may not like the cursor that doesn't "fit between" 2 letters. But
w/ a fat cursor (that's easy to find), the next character you type is
placed before the character that the fat cursor highlights. Some
programs call that a "block" style cursor & the other thin line is just
the thinnest line that can be drawn and still visible to the naked human
eye . :D

Hi All
I use Geany 1.32 on linux mint, i want to found a way to highlight the
line where the needle is found while using searching tools.
It seem's the highlighting is only applied when editor have focus, and
in this case, focus is on the search window.
Maybe having another indicator like an arrow near line number will be
useful.
Thanks
Jérôme
