Geany IDE: Tango dark colour scheme

2009-01-11 – 6:46am

Updated

I’ve updated the scheme slightly, to better support CSS3 functionality, JavaScript highlighting, and more languages. The list of supported languages below has been updated.

Geany is a lightweight IDE for Linux and Windows, and it’s quickly become my favourite, even going so far as to supplant VIM in many of my day-to-day tasks. I’ve started putting together a dark Tango-based theme for the Geany IDE. So far, the coloured filetypes include:

  • C
  • C++
  • CSS
  • HTML
  • Java
  • Javascript
  • PHP
  • SGML
  • Shell scripts
  • XHTML

The colours are loosely based on the Dark Geany project.

Download the colour scheme.

What about a screenshot? Would be nice to see if it is worth installing :) Thanks!

I’ll update the post to include a screenshot first thing in the morning, Anonymous. :)

I like the GTK theme you are using as well, would you mind letting us know what GTK theme you have and where we can find it?

Thanks Barry,

Hi Chrelad,

The GTK theme I’m using is c alled “Nodoka Midnight” — you can download it from Gnome Look (although I just installed the package gtk2-engines-nodoka in Ubuntu).

What about the most common languages, say C, C++, C#, Java, Python?

2009-07-16 – 8:07 am

I have a Java set that I use at work — hopefully, I’ll get some of the other languages done soon. :) I tend to do the languages as I need them.

Big fan of this color scheme :)

Really good, i’ve been using it since January, if i am not somehow confused. (Perhaps I am :P )

Cheers!

It seems that the PHP files are missing ?
root@clusterfucker:~/tmp/geany-darkTango# unzip geany-darkTango.zip
Archive: geany-darkTango.zip
inflating: filetypes.css
inflating: filetypes.javascript
inflating: filetypes.xml
inflating: filetypes.common
root@clusterfucker:~/tmp/geany-darkTango#

Hey Barry,

Any chance you can update the colour scheme with the PHP file? i’d really like to get the same colors as in your screenshot.

Thanks.

Hi Daniel, Josue,

I’ll try and get the PHP file done and uploaded at work today. There are a few tweaks I’ve made to the CSS highlighting which I’ve been meaning to upload for a while, too.

The DOCTYPE is to dark in html, give it a brighter color.

Great schemes!

The only thing i dislike is the default ‘current_line’ color. I suggest to create ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.common with the lines:

[styling]
default=0xeeeeec;0x2e3436;false;false
current_line=0×0;0x565a5b;true;false

This will apply to all schemes.

I’ve also done the freebasic scheme based on yours. Email me if you want it.

Thanks Manuel! I’ve sent you the email you requested, so hopefully I’ll be able to get your changes included soon.

hey barry,
what font are you using in the above screenshot?
thanks,
greg

Hi Greg,

If I recall correctly, it’s probably “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono“. It may also be “Droid Sans Mono“, which is my current coding font of choice.

Hi Barry, it’s the Droid Sans Mono font. Thanks!
