Syntax highlighting: Geany doesn't 'see' imported structs, methods.

So I'm doing some programming at home, and I'm using the GTK+2.0 library. 

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <stdio.h>

GtkWidget *window;


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

    gtk_widget_show_all(window); 
    gtk_main();         
    return 0;
}

This code compiles and runs fine.

The problem I'm having is that geany doesn't seem to 'know' that it's using the gtk library, or what methods and structs are in it.

So for example that GtkWidget struct isn't highlighted, it's just plaintext. It doesn't offer the dropdown of methods, when I start writing 'gtk_window...'.

What do?

Open the header file in Geany. It will then parse the contents and highlight structs, etc, in other open files.
