The new regions are called fringes.  You can find out about them in
the NEWS file.

Note that the old backslash also took one column of screen space, so
there is not a big difference to the right fringe, except for
appearance.

Maybe it will help you a bit to change the fringe background color,
eg (set-face-background 'fringe "neongreen").  That way, the fringes
won't be so obvious.

In a future version of Emacs, you will be able to change the fringe
width, and you can also set it to 0.
