All Geany is FLAT (no border for boxes, buttons, tabs, etc.)

[ChristopheDupriez]

Geany seems a great IDE but on the Pi, display are not legible: I have no borders for buttons, boxes, tabs, etc. Am I the only one? Where is the configuration for this so I can correct? Any known workaround? Thanks!

Are you still running Raspbian Jessie? That's not the current default window border, gtk theme, or menu appearance.
Upgrading to Raspbian Buster will solve your problem.
BTW this is what Raspbian Buster looks like:

Thank you for your explanation. I am using the latest Raspbian download BUT I copied my entire /home/pi from my previous installation. I suppose it copied old configurations of GTK (or other presentation layer software) over the upgraded ones. Any idea of the files I should look after ?

Probably best to not copy any hidden folders. Especially .config and .local.
But you can reset your appearance settings by going to menu --> Appearance settings --> set defaults.
To fine-tune your appearance settings, run lxappearance.

Thanks a lot for your help ! I could even choose between different themes the one I prefer. Really thank you!

Would you happen to want your desktop to look like Windows 10?

Certainly not! I prefer some 3D for spotting buttons faster...
