Perhaps this is a limitation of the Scintilla editor? You are correct that the first step would be to make Scintilla's C lexer identify function calls as separate entities that can be highlighted. (and an option to turn this off as well) If I'm not totally wrong, you can already get quite close to that with the identifier style in Geany. To change this, either set style identifier in .config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.c or more generally, set identifier_1 in .config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.common. For more details about these config files, check the manual. However, a quick test shown that the style identifier (as provided by Scintilla) matches way more than function names only. It highlights also local variables in functions and many more symbols.
