There is the GTK designer (stetic) which, I believe, is still officially supported. It's certainly polished anyways.
http://monodevelop.com/documentation/stetic_gui_designer It has the added benefit of using a better suited, for Linux, UI toolkit (again, GTK). As for WinForms, you could use the visual designer of VS Express or SharpDevelop on Windows, and do the rest of the development in MonoDevelop. Though I expect this is more trouble than it's worth. There are no plans to develop the (or other) WinForms designer. On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 3:51 PM, Akos Vandra <[email protected]> wrote: > I see.
