I make extensive use of member functions of one specific static class. Specifying the class name every time I call it's methods looks nasty...

Yes, you can. C# 6 introduced new construct - the using static directive lets you import all the static members of a type, so that you can use those members unqualified :

using static ClassName;

for instance:

using System;

using static System.Console;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        WriteLine("test");
    }
}
