You choose.

To me, it sadly feels if it is all three.


Can you not use the MS Windows Magnifier in Docked Mode (200%) > Inverted Colours?

I'm not sure I understand.
I need to use Windows 10 at 175% in order for all my other applications (e.g. MS Office, Photoshop etc etc) to have text large enough to read comfortably.

To recap the problem with Xara Designer Pro is that you are forced to choose between
A) the menuing interface being clear and readable, but the graphics you are working on being blurred
B) the graphics you are working on being pin sharp, but the menuing interface having text that is way too large for it, thereby making it more or less unusable.

I have been using Xara since the very first version in 1995! That's several lifetimes in the software universe.

Oh DEAR. So for the first time ever I'm going to have to seriously consider finding something other than Xara.

This is very very VERY not good.
