The Workbench ************* Workbench got rewritten for OS 3.5. The workbench.library API has been extended with several new vectors to provide greater interaction with Workbench-aware applications. There are now official (and clean) ways for third party Workbench enhancers to gather information on the current Workbench status, start programs in "Workench mode" and even control some aspects of the Workbench user interface from other applications. Of course the Workbench supports the new color mapped icons and other features provided by the new icon.library. Icon Library.
