This will allow the user to change the color depth via the graphics card. - In Sax2 the button was named "Colours". + Color depth explained -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth + ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + In SaX2 the button was named "Colours". Click on the following link to view how it looked in SaX2: http://en.opensuse.org/File:YaST-Monitor.jpg - Since sax2 was deprecated and "xorg.conf" is being phased out. We have - been missing a way to dynamically change the color depth. This could be - integrated into KDE 4.6x - 4.7x. - Sax2 used to have a button to allow users to change the color depth. - For example: - * 8-bit - * 15-bit - * 16-bit - * 24-bit + Since SaX2 was deprecated and "xorg.conf" was being phased out. All + openSUSE users have been missing a very valuable feature to dynamically + change the color depth. This could be integrated into KDE 4.6x - 4.7x + revisions. + The following shows a sample of different color depth settings. + Example: * 32-bit + * 24-bit + * 16-bit + * 8-bit This could be an interesting project for the Summer of Code 2011. Let's vote to add this feature to the Display and Monitor in KDE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This allows the user to increase or decrease a monitor's color depth/resolution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311322
