So Ive just downloaded and setup the monogame templates through the visual studio extension manager and I think theres a bug.
The icons on the create new project screen arent showing. Screenshot attached. Any help appreciated, thanks.
I wrote a tutorial on creating a from scratch project, it’s for UWP, but will still help you for your platform of choice to an extent.
Take a look at my latest guide’s thread.
This may get fixed in a future update for MG.

Hey @Pietro_Foresta , Welcome to the Community!
Day 1.5 Fixing the templates issue in 3.8 Nuget
So, I accidently stumbled across a fix for this issue the other day. I will try to keep this one short, no promises.
Modify your VS setup and ensure you have the following selected:
Windows 10 SDK 10.0.18362.0
Around 720MB when I downloaded it.

Posting this a bit late in the day as I had to re-arrange my room to make space and clean up all the dust… it never ends.
So, what is this thread about? why is it here? why are you delaying? You ask?
Well, I have been putting off learning MG for quite a while now, and finally I have a drive I never had before.

Hey I have the same issue and I did not understand your fix solution. I modified vs community with SDK or something. I still can’t see any icons appearing like the screenshot above, however the template still works but I can’t for instance open the content pipeline which is vital obviously!
Well now the content pipeline works thanks to installing it via CMD which is how you do it. The icons are still grey but my project seems to work fine so I’m not complaining. Should I be worried about the icons still being grey? Best regards, Fredrik
