Folder portal label cannot be disabled

In fences 3 even though I`m using color & appearance> show labels> never folder portal labels pop-up on mouseover.

The workaround using an empty label does not work either after upgrading from Fences 2 to 3.

This is not a bug; because Folder navigation is done via the titlbar it is not hidden.

We noted this during development and testing but have not thought of a way to provide navigation without introducing clutter to the interface (one of the things Fences is trying to prevent).

I'm open to ideas though.

I may be a little late to the game on this, but maybe as an alternative you could have the titlebar not show until an item in the folder portal has been selected. What's most distracting for me is that it pops up, sometimes only partially, going about my daily business. Better yet, maybe it would be possible to have the titlebar hidden on folder portals that have the option to "Allow navigation" disabled, or as a standalone option (that could potentially be set from folder portal to folder portal) to disable it for people who understand they will be losing the option to use the titlebar for navigation.
