Hi Volkan,

While we will definitely be making improvements to our XAML tooling in Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio in upcoming releases, we have no plans to implement a visual designer for Xamarin.Forms. If you need visual designers, you should use our designers for iOS and Android, which will provide an accurate design experience for each target platform.

There is a third party tool that will do live rendering of your XAML though called Gorilla Player: http://www.gorillaplayer.com/. I've not used it yet, but it looks really cool!

Warm regards,
Andrew Ditmer
