The commits added in 2018 did not resolve this issue.

After a bunch of fruitless testing, I found that what was added was a setting 
in filedefs.common

```
# translucency for the line marker(first argument) and the search marker 
(second argument)
marker_translucency=256;256

```

However, this only allows setting translucency for marker_line and marker_mark, 
not marker_search as the description implies and was the issue reported here. 
This does make it marker_search highlighting almost unusable with dark schemes.

Would anyone care to add the third, and originally requested, marker 
translucency setting to this line? It should be easy, but I'm not familiar with 
Geany source at all so it would be better if someone else did it.

Additionally, this description is poor. Why use ambiguous descriptions like 
"the line marker" and "the search marker" instead of just saying "line_marker" 
and "marker_mark"?

Additionally additionally, it would be nice if these translucencies could be 
(optionally) defined in the colorscheme config instead of the separate 
filedefs.common. For other definitions in filedefs.common, you can just have, 
e.g.

```
marker_search=marker_search
```

to use whatever was set in the colorscheme definition file. The same does not 
appear to work for either marker_transparency or the other transparency setting 
further up (that affects current_line and selection).
