Well, using my VESA compatible card, the pull down gives me information 
on all my modes. (It verifies that I indeed do have true color, and that 
the software recognizes it.)  The new button (True Color) in place of the 
Firecracker 24 button causes displays to use the true color settings.

This is perhaps my favorite feature of 3.0, as I don't have to reboot and 
load windows to view my stills in their best possible splendor.

I haven't played around with the preferences except to force the True 
Color button to be on when I originally start Imagine.
