Post subject:  Ugly Green Background After a Day

After I install classic shell, the next day it gives me these ugly green backgrounds as shown below. I admit I'm new to classic shell and might be doing something wrong. I see other users post some really nice shells here, but have no idea how to go about downloading and installing them on my machine. Can someone give me a quick tutorial or at least some pointers so I can get rid of all the green? Thanks

This looks like Windows 10 attempting to match your wallpaper.

I have that option turned off (Settings > Personalisation > Colors) and I have the darkest grey chosen instead, which is then reflected in the Start Menu.

Right click the Start button -> Settings. Go to the "Skin" tab. You can pick a new skin there from the dropdown, preview it by pressing the Start button and click OK when you find one you like.

Thanks Gaurav, I knew about that menu, I'm wondering how to download and use other people's customizations that are posted here. Where do I place them to make them appear in the menu, for example?

Yes DaveStewart, you were right on with that answer. That fixed the ugly green problem. Thanks :)

Download skins from here: viewforum.php?f=17

To install the skin, simply copy the .skin file to C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\Skins. If it's a *.skin7 file, you must switch to Windows 7 style to use it. Then open Start Meny settings. On the Skin tab, the skin should be there in the dropdown.
