AGK Dark Theme... Finally \o/

As some of you may know I'm not a great fan of the latest versions of AGK / AGK Studio as every release after 2018-07-12 all suffered a big frame rate drop ( this includes AGK Studio and without the IDE open ). It's been reported a few times and I even wrote a small test to prove it on Win / Mac / Linux with many confirming it. Nothing has ever been done about it and unfortunately the super duper Vulkan renderer yields zero change on the 3 Mac's I've tried it on. Perhaps the Windows versions are different but I develop on MacOS so :P

One thing that's been annoying me is I mostly code at night, mostly ;D and prefer the dark themes to which AGK ( excluding Studio ) do not have. You can have a darker source code section but the surrounding GUI is still bright.

So before I get coding on the latest game comp I finally decided to see if the GUI side of the AGK IDE can be forced to a more darker appearance. After becoming an expert from a quick Google search I found that Geany ( the editor which AGK's older version is based on ) uses GTK 2.0 and thus opens things up to GNOME themes. So I found a dark one, slapped it into the Geany part of AGK and it worked \o/ - The icons are the same but I'm not fussed about changing those.

Finally I have AGK 2018-07-12 with a dark theme on MacOS ;D

Hey eventually got the dark theme . I downloaded mine off Media Fire in a zipped folder then unzip it in the directory for AGK2 the one with Tier 1 and Tier 2 on it etc , no need to go any further and unzip it  there . Will try and post a link .http://www.mediafire.com/download/el2fruke6jn8qqa/AGK_Style.zip
