I suggest you ...

Add the "Dark" theme from Visual Studios 2012 to Xamarin Studio.

The Dark color scheme from Visual Studios 2012 is really pleasant to look at and easy to read. It would be cool to have this in Xamarin Studio. At least the font coloring, but setting the GTK window color to a dark color would also be cool.

        The Visual Studio 'Dark' theme effects more than just the editor window, it makes the entire program take a dark theme.

        You can now 'add' visual studio themes in Xamarin Studio 4.0.2 and higher. I think this can be considered implemented as there are many good themes available for download (eg: http://studiostyl.es/ )

        current versions Monodevelop and XamarinStudio doesn't have this feature because, all interface elements still light even if editor theme like Monokai is has been setup (it's super badly because light interface with dark theme has hight contrast between unimportant places and attract developer attention to it)

        Looks like the 'Monokai' color theme was added to MonoDevelop 4, now XamarinStudios 4. Very cool, i'm happy with this color theme... might even be better then VisualStudios 2012 dark theme is some ways.

        In my opinion this suggestion could be considered as done. :)
