As that is not the default appearance of Emacs, it is no doubt
due to something in your init file (~/.emacs).
1. Start Emacs without your init file, to confirm this: emacs -Q.
2. Bisect your init file recursively to find the culprit code.
Comment out half the file, then 1/4, then 1/8,... You can
use `M-x comment-region' to comment out selected code, and
use `C-u M-x comment-region' to uncomment the selected code.
(Or bind `comment-region' to a key - I use `M-;'.)
A guess would be that either (a) you have customized Emacs or
(b) you have chosen a "theme". Whatever it is, it is likely
your init file that holds the answer.
