I have Windows 10, if that matters.

I made the fatal mistake - I clicked on something! Arrrrghhh! Now I can't rid of it. Can you help me?

It might be a Google App. It's a Star Wars sword - comes with gmail all of a sudden. It asks me to pick a light rod (pink or blue) to open the ... um, I forget the exact words ... something maybe about the universe.

So I clicked on pink and have this awful back screen for my gmail. I have nothing against Star Wars but it should be optional - which I suppose a programmer would think that procedure was. But I'm a cybertwit. Can you help me get rid of it?

Not about to intentionally install the theme to find out if this works, but here's what I found:

Quote:

1. go to google.com/starwars.
2. Choose to change side.
3. Move your avatar to the center (between the dark side and the bright side),
4. Then click on your gmail-adress (not on change account) and then press the button to confirm that you want to restore the default settings.
