-This is MonoDevelop which is intended to be a full-featured integrated
-development environment (IDE) for mono and Gtk#. It was originally a
-port of SharpDevelop 0.98.
+MonoDevelop is a cross-platform IDE primarily designed for C# and
+other .NET languages. MonoDevelop enables developers to quickly write
+desktop and ASP.NET Web applications on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX.
+MonoDevelop makes it easy for developers to port .NET applications
+created with Visual Studio to Linux and Mac OSX maintaining a single
+code base for all platforms.
+
+Note: oxygen-gtk causes MonoDevelop source editor to be blank.
+A workaround is to use a different GTK2 Theme; Adwaita,
+Oxygen-Molecule, QtCurve, etc.
+Another workaround is to set OXYGEN_DISABLE_INNER_SHADOWS_HACK=1
+environment variable.
