Martin,

   one thing you can do (at least on NB 5.0), is to go to Tools->Options->Fonts
& Colors->Highlighting and select 'Cold Folding' in the 'Category' list.  Set
the Foreground color to the same color as your Editor's background.  When you
collapse, you will no longer see the boxes (as if they are invisible).  You
will, however, have an empty line with a + in the Code Folding Bar where the 
code folds are.
