- Up until release 3.1 of the Amiga's operating system, Commodore used Workbench to refer to the entire Amiga operating system. As a consequence Workbench was commonly used to refer to both the operating system and the file manager component. For end users Workbench was often synonymous with AmigaOS.

Visually, while Workbench 1.3 retained the same default colours as the previous versions of Workbench, the first thing that is obvious is that the icons have been redrawn, with many of them having a pseudo 3 dimensional look to them. Most icons now also have an alternative image when they’re selected, instead of just inverting the colours used. The drawer icons show an open drawer when they’re selected, and Trashcan icon has it’s lid open when it’s selected. It all looks much nicer when compared to the look of the default Workbench 1.2 icons. Also, the floppy disk icons now look much more like actual floppy disks, with the distinctive Amiga rainbow tick (but as Workbench only displayed in 4 colours at this point, it wasn’t in the rainbow colours) on the disk label for the Workbench and Extras disk icons.
