One thing that has never been good on Workbench is its dithering routines.  I think if there were some sort of third party hack to improve this it would make a low-color workbench look even better.

That would be neat, the grainy looks arent so great.


When i used to emulate Mac Os 7.5 and 7.6 on an A1200, i ran it in 256 color dblscan AGA 640 x480 screen using an external MMU-mapped video driver and it looked fantastic running photoshop 3 (4?) with 24 bit jpegs as the Mac OS dithered so well.  And as the display was in fast ram, it was much quicker than a 256 color AGA Workbench.
