request feature : be able to change visualisation of tab for currently opened file

[piscvau]

Several times ran into serious problems (scratching a file) because I confuse the highlight in red of the unsaved files' tab with the highlight of the currentlly displaid file. I would like to be able to inverse the parameters, that is:
have in red the tab's title of the currentlys displaid file
have inversed background for the tab of not yet saved files.

@piscvau https://www.geany.org/manual/#customizing-geany-s-appearance-using-gtk-3-css should help you, you can define yourself how they should look.
Note: the documentation isn't very clear here, but it also works with GTK2. See geany.gtkrc for GTK2 inspiration, or geany.css for GTK3 inspiration.

And the information I requested will tell you if you are using GTK2 or GTK3.

Sorry for the delay in answering
here is the information about my configuration
14:22:56: Geany INFO : Geany 1.32, fr_FR.UTF-8
14:22:56: Geany INFO : GTK 3.22.30, GLib 2.56.3
14:22:56: Geany INFO : System data dir: /usr/share/geany
Thanks for the info. I followed the instructions : copy the CSS fie into ~.config.geany . But it does not seem to be loaded. Any modification to do in preferences?
Another problem is that it does not seem possible to change the display of the current tab.

@b4n where is the Geany CSS used to set tab text colour, this suggests to me it uses the theme colour, not the geany setting?

@b4n, Ignore my last, I found it.

@piscvau changing the geany-status-changed value WFM. Geany only controls the tab text colour, not the tab, you will have to set that by the normal GTK theme name/path for the active tab. Not sure what its called.

Closed because its working existing functionality.
