The recommended method is to use a Hex editor to change the string
"Workbench" in the Vista program to "Fakebench". You then set up a Fakebench
screen in an AGA mode and Vista copies that.
Vista will only run in native modes, but this method avoids messing up
your Workbench.
I haven't actually tried this yet, but it should work.
