If someone just wants to change the background color of Geany editor from white to black, you have to go to Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> Display and check "Invert syntax highlighting colors".

  • That is the one I was looking for.
    This way when I edit as root the backgroud is black and when I edit as normal user the background is white.     – Lv2eof Aug 30 '22 at 15:42

Geany themes (called, color schemes) are located in ~/.config/geany/colorschemes

You can add more schemes from this site. You'll want to copy from the colorschemes folder.

After all the .conf files are added, you can now choose a new color scheme from the menubar. Choose one that you like, and then edit its .conf file. In this file, under the section [named colors] or [named styles], you can change the background color to whatever you want. The colors are in RGB hex format.
