No system can display 32bit, as you say, the last(or first, depending on how
you cound). The last 24 bits are split up into 3*8 bits, for the red, green
and blue colors. And AmigaOS does only support 8bit, btw. Its
Cybergraphics/Picasso/whateverrtgsoftwareyourun that makes it possible by
patching system functions. And all calls in cybergraphics.library that uses a
colorcode as a direct argument, supports all 32 bits. Ie, it is possible to
clear the screen with alpha value $23, if that is what you want.
