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.

Where can I get the windows version of MonoDevelop? MonoDevelop's download page has a "Windows" section, but the only thing there is some "Xamarin Studio" iOS/Android-dev tool.

MonoDevelop is now called Xamarin Studio. That's the right one
you're looking at

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

Oh, ok. 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 :)

Unfortunately they now forcefully bundle the Android SDK, which I have no use for, but have to wait downloading 800MB..

It didn't do that for me. *shrug*

Unfortunately, Xamarin tries to force its own color scheme, and only partially succeeds at it, leaving the program filled with barely-readable "light-on-light" text and other text that appears partially-rendered kinda like "anti-aliasing gone terribly wrong" (not to mention lots of eye-searing plain-white backgrounds). I'm not a GTK fan, but when I get a chance I'll have to try compiling the plain-vanilla non-Xamarin MonoDevelop if there indeed isn't a pre-built Windows version of it.

800 Megs? My download was only 31 MB large ;)

Please consider downloading the version from
http://monodevelop.com/download
-- you don't have to register to the Xamarin site then.

Nope. You can switch it so some darker schemes. I also switched it to some darker background because it also was too bright for me.

Ah thanks, I was trying out the one from the official website. I'll give it a go.
