I have installed Visio Professional 2013 on a Windows 7 Pro Virtual Machine (Apple OS 10.9.2 as the host, VMWare Fusion 4.1.4). Needless to say, all software is genuine :-).
When I open Visio, the startup screen is simply dark grey. The various document template and customisation options are invisible, but hovering the mouse pointer over certain areas shows the help text relevant to the invisible document/option. When I press Ctrl + N to open the document selected by default I see the image below where the work area renders correctly but the toolbars remain invisible.
Resizing the window shows some of the options, some of the time and they disappear erratically as you start working on the document. The options available under the 'File' option remain invisible. I've got Microsoft Word and Excel from my 2007 Enterprise package still installed and they work without issue. I've tried uninstalling all Office software and reinstalling Visio only, but the ribbon remains erratic. Word and Excel 2007, after reinstallation, work without issue.
Any suggestions of what I could try to improve Visio's ribbon rendering? I had to revert to Word and Excel 2007 because the 2013 versions are affected by the same issue.
