How many colours do you have your WB set to? You sholud have funky glow icons at least?

Does your 2000 have a graphics card or plain OCS?

In your system folder prefs/screenmode should do it. OCS is kind of limited though.

Also if you want to pretty up your workbench, you could add a program that adds a  'copper gradient' to the background, and you could add an image on top of that. That way you'll have several hundred colours on screen at once, but on a 16 colour screen (at least for the copper gradient, overlay picture will be 15colours, giving one away for the copper gradient) (I assume you get plenty of gradient colours on OCS/ECS, it's been a while since I used a machine with the old chipsets).


Example copper gradient programs:

or perhaps WBVerlauf20 or MagicCopper would work.

Some examples of how the images on top can work are:

You could also use Rebel-CD32's palette and icons to pretty things up:
