Widgets do not appear in designer when running Visual Studio Express 2013 in VirtualBox on Mac OS X

When running Visual Studio Express 2013 in Windows 8.1 in VirtualBox on Mac OS X, you may find that widgets are not appearing in the designer.

 Widgets not appearing:

This seems to be due to a bug in the VirtualBox's video driver. In order to resolve this, first the VM you are using must not currently be running. Go to your Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, select the VM you are using and then press Settings. Select the Display tab. In Video -> Extended Features, uncheck Enable 3D Acceleration.

Widgets now appear:

Conveys the current time using vibrations while this application runs in the background. Time vibrations can occur as frequently as once every 15 minutes. Useful at events where you are seated and you would like to know the current time, but the current time is not displayed anywhere in the room and it would be impolite to check your Nokia or watch (e.g. date, dinner, interrogation, interview, lunch, meeting).
