I agree! I love the look and feel of the original Workbench. I don't understand how some think it looks less professional. Gray is drab, boring and depressing. I guess not unlike a lot of office jobs. lol

That's it, I'm going back to 1.3 and not looking back! lmao  

Too bad WHDLoad isn't 1.3 compatible. Or the 2060 for that matter  :(  :lol:

Over the years, I've lost interest in GUI eye candy, and just want speed and functionality: hence I'm installing the stock 3.1, 4 colour GUI, which is a speed demon, and just does the job.

I noticed that and agree about the eye candy statement. I'm super pleased with OS3.1 on my 25mhz A3000. Works extremely well. Installed OS3.9 on it the other day just for fun and yep, was sluggish as hell. Went back to 3.1 quicker than it takes the Dock to load up on that system. lol   Oh well - kinda cool using different OS's with different Amiga's anyway  :)

What's the performance hit like with MagicWB?  The main reason I like 3.1's Workbench is how fast icons, etc. pop up.
