Bug Description

The UI, toolbars icons, code folding controls etc. are very hard to use on displays with higher than normal resolution and give a very bad default user experience and usability. This could be resolved by finally switching to the gtk3 builds of geany, or by adding them as separate optional package.

Ubuntu: 14.10
Geany: 1.24-1-1

Would like to see this too. Are the GTK3 builds stable yet?
