This isn't a bug about the actual application. Is is, rather, an aesthetic request. Pasted in below are three screenshots--the git for Windows post-upgrade release notes screen that pops up automagically, a Win10 BSOD, and a Win7 BSOD.

When performing a git upgrade at 5:30am, seeing a very similar shade of blue suddenly take up an entire monitor on a multi-monitor setup is disconcerting and needlessly alarming for about a half a second. I respectfully request you choose another damn shade of blue for your release notes screen.
