I would just like to mention one very obvious way to improve your WB
1.3 appearance.  I would not post this except I have had an Amiga (1000 then 
2000) since December of 1985 and have only recently realized what I was
missing.

While I have used 640x400 interlaced mode on occasion, I had not realized the
advantages of using interlaced 640x200 mode.  I use SetLace from FF009 
(available at trantor.umd.edu [128.8.10.14]) as the first line of my Startup-
Sequence with the colours set to 0:6,6,6 ; 1:0,0,9 ; 2:0,1,5 ; 3:11,0,0.  I
find that on my 1080 monitor this gives me rock-solid colour and a dramatic
improvement in the appearance of the WorkBench.  You will of course pay some
memory/speed penalties.  There may be a newer program than SetLace to enable
the interlace.  If you want an impressive looking 640x200 display with solid 
colour and no scan lines I recommend that you try this.
