I should be using the most recent version as I check for updates here regularly.
Nisou, reconfiguring carbonite to user-preferences per category screen is definitely not intuitive. I've gone through that hassle.

(1)
Now, I have screenshots of each individual section (and there are many). They include my choices for transparency settings, poi icon sizes, various other scaling parameters, etc. In other words everything, since there is no other way. The default Blizzard and Carbonite settings are just too unworkable for me. My screen rez is 1920 x 1080 on a 23" wide-screen monitor. Things were way too small. I modified the UI scale so that Blizzard's Mini-map was no longer the size of Nickle or Quarter coin, but is now larger so I can actual see it.

After setting parameters the way I liked them, I cropped each of my images down in scale and saved them as as separate jpg's to make the important text and data larger (easier to read) than it was on the full screenshots.

I used to have the problem with the map and the quest log getting hung almost completely outside the viewing area. Someone gave me the idea (which worked) to rescale the UI Scale setting which allowed me to access the top "handle" portion of the objects so that I could drag them to new locations. Don't forget to write down the UI Scale setting BEFORE you change it (if you choose to use this method.). It'll make life easier for you when you reset it.
