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.
