Add a Resolution / ScaleFactor to the Visual Studio 2013 Devices Panel - visual-studio-2013

In Visual Studio 2013 on the Device Panel how do you add a Resolution and Scale Factor to the Display drop down? I assume it would also be the same for Blend. It seems to be missing the Surface Pro 3 Resolution/Scale Factor.

How to fix blurry menus in Visual Studio?

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Professional on a Windows 10 machine with an Intel integrated GPU and high resolution Display Port monitors. DPI in Windows is set to 100% and I haven't done much with the computer besides using Visual Studio.
Suddenly when I came back to my computer (some of) the texts in Visual Studio were blurry, including items in the Solution Explorer as well as menus. Just everything blurry.
If I hover something the hovered something will become sharp again but moving the window doesn't make the text sharp but makes the blur change.

Visual Studio 2012 mouse flicker

In Visual Studio 2012, any time the mouse is over a Debug "Watch" or "Autos" Window, OR if the mouse is over a String Table, it flickers horribly on every update. Trying to scroll down through the String Table is so painful - you can watch each item get repainted with the mouse flickering the whole time (I have to move the mouse out of the window and then page up and down with the keyboard).
This didn't happen with Visual Studio 2008.
Interestingly, it also does not happen when I Remote Desktop to the exact same computer, same Visual Studio 2012 install, and even the same project.
The "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" setting has no affect one way or the other.

Why are the Visual Studio 2010 icons blurry when compared to the Visual Studio 2005 icons?

That image shows what I'm talking about.
Visual Studio 2010 on the left, Visual Studio 2005 on the right.
If you ignore the jpeg compression artifacts you can tell that the left icons are much blurrier than the right icons.
Is there some way to turn off this anti-aliasing?
Developers seem to have a strong urge to change every icon people are used to, to be fancy, 3D and anti-aliased.
What was wrong with Office icons only god knows. Or why the clear and yellow speaker icon got replaced by two concentric circles, with 3d effects.
