I'm new to developing C/C++ projects on Linux (specifically Raspberry Pi). I find that Geany seems to do everything I need. I also installed the official Colour Schemes as specified on the GitHub page. Starting Geany from the Start/Programming menu, I changed to the theme I like. Any time I re-start from the menu, I get my selected colour scheme as expected.

However, if I double click on a file (say **.cpp, .h or even the project file *.geany) I get the generic, Default colour scheme. If I go to Change Colour Scheme... it only shows the two default themes (Default and Alternate).

It appears to have a different .config/geany/colorschemes location depending on how I start Geany. Is this a bug or a feature (that I'm not understanding)? ... or is there a way in Geany or Linux for me to get a consistent experience?

Thanks.

My fault. Somewhere along the way, I set up the File Manager menu item to start with sudo. It was accessing files as root and thus was looking in root's .config.
