The solution 
https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issuecomment-772130658 works from 
command line
`export GTK_THEME=Mojave-light-solid:dark; open -a geany`

**_BUT_**, it does not work in normal Mac workflow.  That is, double-clicking a 
file which opens with Geany, makes light mode.  Also starting Geany from the 
dock defaults to light mode

There is a `settings.ini` in the Macos bundle. Adding the following allows for 
dark-mode works:
`gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true`

I don't think gsettings exist for Macos.

**_For the average user_**, I think the best solution would be to keep Macos 
bundle intact. To reiterate: now two bundle-based alternatives exists 
(`gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true`, or changing `gtk-dark.css` file 
names as in original post 
https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issue-799806336). At least 
theoretically, maybe one of these could be jacked into to allow dark-mode 
setting from inside Geany menus?

Willing to test-drive if you don't have a Mac available
