After installing the latest fence's, and twiddling around with the visual preferences I find the following.

Outline

Their is no more 'Outline' on fences and their is poor, contrast from the 'Fence'Title bar, and 'Fences'window Body.

Let me explain this via a small graphic, their are three different graphics included within one.

the Left portion has Outline switched on, the middle portion is just with transparency turn up, and the right is with outline turned off.

OutlineIcon

Please not from the above that the 'MouseOver' Icon stick's out side the 'Fence' frame.

Contrast

Their should be some way of adjusting the contrast of text(label)"Folders" area compared with rest of the window.

Outages

If fences is switched off, then it will not switch on again, the only way I have found to reswitch it on, is to set it

as such, and then reboot the machine.
