Workbench enhancement: BestWB 1.3 for AmigaOS 3.1.4
Similar to BetterWB, BestWB is a collection of Workbench tools for, in this case, AmigaOS 3.1.4 "without the unneeded bloat often associated with these kind of distros. It persues speed and usability and does not focus on eye candy."

New Features:

-TiTleShadow is a program that enables title bar font customization.
-AHI enables third party audio hardware under a unified interface.


Updates:

-IconLib46 46.4.513 -> 46.4.518
-ToolsMenu 1.9.1 -> 1.10.2
-TSGUI -> 2.6b21
-WBDock 2.13 -> 2.14


Bugfixes:

-Cleaned up the installation script.
-Improved some documentation.
-Removed DOSPrefs as its operation is both buggy and quite hackish.


Tweaks:

-MMULibs is now optional when going full install (Not in the Update).
-FullPalette can be easily toggled on or off quite easily. (snx) (Translation: dr)
