Facelift is a "Facelift" of the IIGS desktop. ;-)
All desktop programs call to the QuickDraw2 toolset to draw
the familiar GUI we see that characterizes the IIGS. This
fact enables a single patch, Facelift, to bring Second Sight
support to all desktop programs. Facelift is a patch to QD2.
Imagine AppleWorks GS, Finder, and all other IIGS desktop
programs on a 256 color 640x480 or 800x600 desktop, for
example. That's what Facelift will do once it is completed.
