The Apple IIgs Hardware Reference gives a small amount of information less than a page and half including the usual table for figuring the color pattern.

The Hardware Reference claims 4-bit sliding window.

There's also a bit in a register controlling B&W or color mode for Double Hires.

Having said this I would like to hear of something better myself as I have struggled to understand the double hires mode.

What exactly is troubling you?
