    Yes there is. gfx.io will do the trick.

    SOLUTION: I found a video over on Youtube that gives a simple solution for the video glitch that occurs with VS Code on a macOS guest OS. The answer is to turn off the GPU for VS Code.
    TL;DR Create a one-line shell script (below) then make it executable. The video shows how... Script is:

    open /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app --args --disable-gpu
    Here is the Youtube Video:

    HEY PARALLELS! I can't believe you're just ignoring this post! IS THERE GOING TO BE FIX FOR ELECTRON APPS RUNNING PARALLELS, in Windows running on a MacOSX Host? THIS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. Slack doesn't work either!!!

    VSCode does not have the graphics problems when running on Linux (Debian 10) on Parallels. This is satisfactory for my needs.

    Thanks to Rich above, yes "open /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app --args --disable-gpu" does work for me, and in all recent OSX versions (including Calatina). This is for all Electron apps I use, and a workaround for chrome in another thread.

    I think the point people are making though, is that the workaround to disable the GPU by running a terminal command is what we would like to be looked at, its been an issue experienced for years (I've posted in another thread a while back also).
