Blurry Design Panel

[chancee]

This is super weird. I open Affinity photo and publisher with no problems but when I open Affinity designer the panel is blurry and so is my design im working on. like the tabs that say... layers, effects, styles etc.. It's super blurry but the drop-down is fine. If i'm working on a design with text and graphics it is also blurry as in not sharp. When I export it, the final product looks better then when I'm working on it in designer. Is there a fix for this? it is super annoying

Hi @chancee
Just a few questions:

Are you using Mac or Windows?

Are you using the latest version 1.10.5?

If you restart the app/your OS does the issue persist? 

Could you check if your graphics drivers are up to date

Could you also send a screenshot of your Performance settings under "Edit > Preferences > Performance" or "Affinity Designer > Preferences > Performance" on Mac

I'm using a Mac

I am using version 1.10.5

When I restart the app it does still persist

my graphics driver is up to date.

@chancee did restarting your Mac make any difference?

Can you try turning off hardware acceleration and see if that resolves the issue.

Turning off the hardware acceleration worked. Thank you so much!
