I agree that the Welcome window green is a bit too nasty-bright for a text background, especially for a first-impression introductory text which might take a few minutes to read.  As a general rule, I think it's probably good for these text background colors to have a saturation value no greater than 0.5 or so.

Besides, the Getting Started window is already another (more pleasant) shade of green... we don't need two green windows here. :)  To maximize the odds that this is rectified, here is a simple DoIt which changes the Welcome window in the 3.0 image to a cool blue color:


welcomeWindow _ (SystemWindow windowsIn: World satisfying: [:w | w label = 'Welcome to...']) first.
welcomeWindow paneMorphs first color: (Color h: 200 s: 0.25 v: 0.97).
welcomeWindow activate.
