Ever since upgrading the other day, there is an obnoxious flowery graphic behind my tool bar and taking up the whole header portion of my browser. How do I get rid of it?

There is a flowery, very colorful background on the heading portion of my browser behind my toolbars ever since I upgraded. It makes the tabs very hard to read and everything else too. How do I get rid of it? I certainly did NOT pick it out or change the appearance. When I go to "appearance" there is not an option to change this. It just changes everything below the tabs.

Thanks for the clear and easy directions for getting rid of the graphic. It was making it extremely difficult to see and read the different icons on my bookmarks toolbar. Having no theme is much better! Thanks again!

Thanks so much, the-edmeister. I appreciate it, that worked just fine. I think the theme is pretty it was just too distracting.

Thank you! Thank you! I had chosen the themed header, which I liked very much, but it was too busy and I got frustrated with not being able to see my links. But when I tried to delete it I could not figure out how. I love the idea, but need to see my links.
