Is it easily possible to change the colours for certain file associations?

[rubyFeedback]

I am used to green font; light red colouring, middle-gold colour
for modules/classes and greyish for comments. Is there a way to
easily define this for .rb files but also some other files? Or
does it require some ctag-manipulation or anything complicated?

I will probably adjust to the geany-defaults, because geany is
(objectively) a better editor at this point for me, but I'd love
to see some kind of resemblance to the colours I used to use
for many years.

Thanks!

PS: If this is a feature request, I am not sure if it can be changed
easily, but for comparison, the nano editor uses a fairly simple
format for modifying your .rc files.

For example:

color white "^ (set|unset).$"
color cyan "^ *(set|unset) (autoindent|backup|const|cut|fill|keypad|multibuffer|noconvert|nofollow|nohelp|nowrap|operatingdir|preserve|q

I am not necessarily suggesting the same for geany, also because it
is quite an ugly format - but the good thing is that it is a simple
text format. I could even autogenerate these files but not sure if
this is possible for geany; last time I read up about this it looked a
bit complex to get support via different colours. Or perhaps there
may be some option where this could be changed on an ad-hoc
basis ... haven't found this yet though.

Geany is pretty good as-is though. The issues I have in general are
really really minor, compared to the net-benefits of using geany so
far.

The colouring for syntactic entities is defined by the colour scheme, some contributed ones have been collected here which you can modify or make your own totally.
