As bartvh mentioned, drapes is a full mono# app with no additional binary glue so it should work on all platforms. That's one of the next tasks to fix in the next release to create a universal deb. There is a bug for it here: https://launchpad.net/products/drapes/+bug/56992

But in the meantime, i created an amd64 package for you here: http://drapes.mindtouchsoftware.com/release/0.4/drapes_0.4.96_amd64.deb
Everything should be the same a the other release

Enjoy.

What about you? You take the source and you recompile it if you need a native binary. Authors can't catter for all the possible architectures, platforms and versions. It's an impossible job.

no native binary

The sofware is written in C#, so no native binaries. You will need a .net runtime of course.
