In Linux, modern X-Window environments (Gnome or KDE) let you set the screen resolution in their settings. But there isn't a single word about color depth. So how can you at least find out the current color depth (color depth) in the current GUI graphics mode (in Gnome or KDE)?
I found the following method for myself — open a console and enter the following command:
$ xwininfo
it asks you to click with the mouse on the window whose color depth you want to find out. Click, for example, on the desktop, and you'll see a line with the "depth" value — that's the parameter you need.
