If you want to disable the current line highlighting in the Geany IDE, it is very simple: You can do this in any of the default colour schemes. Follow the given steps below; these steps are for Linux users:

  1. Open Home partition in file manager.

  2. Go to your username and enable show hidden files; you can enable it by pressing (ctrl+h) or by right-clicking and finding that option.

  3. Find the .config folder manually, or by using the search option.

  4. Now go to the geany folder.

  5. Go to the colorschemes folder.

  6. Now open the themefile which you want to disable highlighting on the current line in any text editor.

  7. Scroll down and find current_line=1a1a1a;true; replace true with false like below:

    current_line=1a1a1a;false

  8. Then save and exit.

Note: Here it is not necessary that the colour name is 1a1a1a; it should change according to your scheme looks; for example, some are set to #6f6f6f. Your main task is to replace true to false and then save and exit.

These are paths for easily understand:

File manager > Home partition or folder > Enable hidden files or finding .config > geany > colorschemes

Go to menu Tools → Configuration Files → filetypes.common.

Find the word current_line, and then change that line on the third parameter to false:

current_line=0x000000;0xf0f0f0;false;
