I've just installed the redgate .NET development tools on a 14-day trial. The text in the IDE is now blurry and unreadable.
*Windows 10 Pro
*Visual Studio Enterprise 2015
*latest version of Redgate .NET developer Bundle
I've been looking around and I haven't seen this issue posted anywhere else. I've tried messing around with the text settings, changing the theme, and restarting visual studio. So far, no luck.

Hi @DanielSchaefer I suspect that this was because of a visual studio bug: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/25097/font-is-blurry-due-to-not-supporting-mixed-mode-dp.html.
Microsoft have rolled the fix out to SSMS 17.1 I believe, but not Visual Studio. Which...is a little odd considering they're supposedly using the same shell these days.
Anyway, according to the uservoice (https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/5429060-make-visual-studio-per-monitor-multi-monitor-dpi-a) it was marked as under review in April 2017, so I suspect it will continue to be around for a while!Have you visited our Help Centre?
