I generally agree with Glenn. On some very rare occasions I may have seen a box bg at the cinema and it *is* distracting. I'd say it's a safe bet that 8/10 cats prefer outlines. A white face with at least 2px black outline. That should be the default. For those catering for the other 2/10 moggies can fiddle with the settings.
