[diazvictor]

I have a question and it kills me for a long time, how do I change the theme of gtk in window for geany ????

I've seen several forums on how to do it, but none have helped me

I'm not on Windows at the moment, but from memory, you put a file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your %UserProfile% directory (ie. C:\Users\you\.gtkrc-2.0) and inside that file, put a line like:

gtk-theme-name = "YourThemeHere"

JFTR:
beginning with Geany 1.38, the Windows builds use GTK3 and here is what is needed:

Create or edit the file C:\Users\<username>AppData\Local\gtk-3.0\settings.ini with the following content:

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Windows10

And your theme files should be located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\themes\Windows10.
Replace "" with your username and "Windows10" with the theme you want to use.
