Hi everyone, I've recently finished a couple of bug fixes and smaller improvements which should make Mono-D an even better IDE. And please, if you experience (and I'm sure you will) bugs or smaller (not only, but preferably completion) annoyances, do spam the issue board or the blog with bug fix requests! - If there's a library construct that's not supported yet, please report it, because I don't really have the time to find out stuff and my coding in D mostly happens w/o huge template constructs. http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/?p=909 https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D/issues

As far as I have understood, "Xamarin Studio" is the name for latest MonoDevelop branch. At least it is installed in Arch Linux under the name "monodevelop" with version 4.x

And now that I look it up, Wikipedia's MonoDevelop page says "Xamarin offers a rebranded version of MonoDevlop 4.0 as Xamarin Studio which now uses platform-specific code in various places to enhance the look & feel." So sounds good :)

See this image: http://semitwist.com/download/img/shots/xamarin_screen.png Even ignoring the "disregard my system settings" overdose of white, the UI is still just generally very difficult to read due to what appears to be a (more or less) buggy theme. Note in particular: 1. Invisible menu items. 2. "Very-light-grey on white" menu items. 3. Generally messed up text on buttons. 4. Overzealous anti-aliasing on the dialog text such as "C:\Users..." and "Always create a backup copy". Not as bad as the first three, but it'll still hurt a guy's eyes after a while.On Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:42:04 +0100 "alex" <info alexanderbothe.com> wrote:Oh noooees.

This website is a mess. The "home" still shows v3, following the download, you'll reach v4.0 (windows)... which is so ugly and buggy.
