Just in case someone wonders..
I knew how to change the color theme for the IDE (I prefer it dark to save on eye strain), but that left me with the basic Windows GUI colors(superbright) for the widgets and menus in contrast to the dark coding area, which still annoyed me.
With the help of Derron from www.syntaxbomb.com(where most of the ex-Blitz Basic coders hang out) and the docs(well mostly Derron)
, I've managed to also change the widgets and menu colors. E.g:
1st attempt.
2nd and current config.
*) for current layout see
latest post.
Tried a few different combo's and what works best for me during night and daytime is;
1) Selecting in
View->Color Scheme->Geany Tango Dark
2) Combine this with an additional theme from the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AGK2\Tier 1\Editor\share\themes\
by adding the line
include "../share/themes/ClearlooksDarkOrange/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" to the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AGK2\Tier 1\Editor\data\geany.gtkrc (below line 41)

Hope this of some use to someone out there who like me, can't stand staring at bright screens for to long.
