how do I get rid of distracting wallpaper at top and bottom of viewing screen?
Suddenly, two greenish bands appeared at the top and bottom of the viewing screen. The top right of the screen has small branches from a tree with multiple pink flowers. This modification of the screen is distracting and irritating. How do I get rid of it?
