To me it seems pretty clear that this is a problem with the virtual graphic card of the Parallels VM, but I'm not able to find any setting which allows me to work with and test Affinity Designer. When disabling Open GL, the whole previously grey window (including artboard) becomes white, but still it's just one homogenous area without a visible artboard or content. In the Settings/Performace tab I tried to check the Open GL and GPU settings (on/off), but this doesn't help either. Whenever I draw something, only the frame or outline is visible, no fills, no contours, and it disappears immediately when deselecting it.

Adjusting background and artboard colors in the application settings only works for the background, the artboard remains invisible. However, if I create a new document, (with or without an artboard), I see either nothing (completely grey background) or the artboard frame, without any content.

So I've installed a Mac OS 10.8 in a Parallels Desktop virtual machine, and installed a full version (not the demo) of Affinity Designer 1.5.4 on it.Īffinity Designer launches, and shows the complete UI.

Which works very well so far, but doesn't permit to install Affinity Designer. On these production environments (several MacPro and iMacs) I'm still running Mac OS 10.6.8 for best compatibility between OS and software. My current work still is done in the Adobe Creative Suites CS4 and 5.5 (with CS6 available, but not yet installed) on several Macs. Which leads to my question, "trying" is to be taken literally here. I'm new to Affinity software, currently trying to evaluate it as an alternative to Adobe products.
