The Workbench screen is the primary visual component of your system. Its main element is the Workbench root window; it can be either a normal window, or, more commonly used, a backdrop window, in which case the window frame vanishes, and its content is displayed directly on the Workbench background. Nevertheless, it is actually still technically a window. In either case, the role of the root window is the same: icons and other windows appear on it.

The Workbench screen itself is identified by the Amiga Workbench title bar located along the top border of the display. The title bar also displays the number of bytes of graphics memory and other memory currently available. You can change which pieces of information are displayed in the title bar; this is done in the Workbench preferences program in your Prefs drawer, where also other useful adjustments can be made to the way your Workbench operates.

When you boot your Amiga, the Workbench root window contains icons for any disk present in the system (including removable disks), the Ram Disk, and any other icons determined by your system configuration.

If you press the right mouse button, the title bar will show all available [[Workbench menus|menus]].
