Arduino IDE interface broken

NinjaTuna:
My video drivers are updated.

For Wiring, I tried creating a wiring.vmoptions file containing

-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

as stated here and here. I cannot find anything more on the subject so I do not know if this information is entirely correct and applicable...
It did not solve my problem.

Actually sun.java2d.noddraw is Windows only (as is sun.java2d.d3d). What platform are you running things on? Oh, and I wouldn't enable OpenGL while trying to solve this.

Another likely Windows tweak is:

sun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false
