    I know it's a tad basic .... but it's about the limit of what Workbench 2.1 can do (other than customising the fonts etc.)
    You can do quite a bit more than that with WB 2.1. You can add a small tiled background to save memory, but greatly improve the look over the standard grey for one. And also change the icons. Or maybe the copper effect that classicWB has to give a nice gradient background to the whole thing. My A600 at the moment has a pretty standard looking classicWB installation, but I used to have a more customised one that looked quite nice. And you have 14MB of ram from the looks of it, so shouldn't have issues with ram when using additional things like icons or background images.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I'll post a new pic when I get round to it ..... I've been tinkering with WBPattern and have installed MagicWB icons
