I've had to move in with my mom temporarily so I took my computer with me. For when I'm home on the weekends, I've set up an old computer that had been retired. I put blender on it so I can have some 3d fix. I downloaded 3.0.1 And it didn't cause the computer to explode so that's a plus. But any menu is just text with no background so I can see what's behind it. (see the image) I'm assuming it's because the computer is so old. It was build in 2009 and still has all original parts. But I thought I'd ask and see if there was a setting that might be at fault instead before I switch to an older version.

This type of thing has been reported as far back as 2.8, and it's usually caused by unsupported GPU or graphics card drivers.  If the hardware is from 2009, then it's going to be quite outdated, so I would be confident in saying it's the GPU.

I agree with LuxXeon this I have heard the same thing and it is usually is a outdated graphics driver or unsupported card I would try any 2.8 version and I think that will be more easy on the eye than working with Blender 3.0 and above and have eye strain 

I agree with Lobo3433 here as well.  You can have multiple versions of Blender running on the same machine without any conflicts if you use the zip downloads.  You can try going back until you find a version that works, but if it's a hardware issue due to the age of the machine, then you may need to go back as far as 2.79 because this particular issue began with the 2.8 generation.  Still, some versions of 2.8 could work for you.  There may be many more display issues underlying this that just haven't manifested themselves yet.  Even if you solve this issue, the old hardware might bring you more headaches down the road, such as viewport display anomalies and rendering problems.  If you can find a GPU that will work on that motherboard but is also on the official supported card list from Blender Foundation, that would be the best option.

Blender Foundation claims that any GPU with at least 1gb of VRAM and support for OpenGL 3.3 or above should work with the 2.8x series, but that is minimum spec requirements and it will definitely still have some problems.

Thanks guys. I thought it would likely be that. I know 2.79 will work on it. I'll try 2.8 and see if it does because I've gotten used to the newer interface. If not, I'll have to muddle through. It's not like I'm planning any super awesome renders. I just figured I'd model a little and mess around with it.

Looks like I'm stuck with 2.79. Nothing else works well enough to use. At least it's only for weekends and not forever. Thanks again for the help.
