I'd find that useful too.

Wiped my ClassicWB install and started a fresh with a vanilla Workbench 3.1 only the last weekend.

Nice as ClassicWB was I found the 'skin' a little overwhelming and because I had no knowledge of how all the components worked in harmony (because they just appeared during the install) I found tweaking a little difficult.

If I could cherry pick the components I wanted, recommend from people I trust, then installed installed myself I'd feel far more in control - plus it's interesting!

I found this thread on amiga.org the other day and have been looking up the tools mentioned.
