Motivation / Problem
Most video drivers cause an 32bpp blitter to be used. OpenGL video drivers currently do not, as they have efficient 8bpp display.
Apparently, the looks of 32bpp blitters are superior.
Description
Only choose an 8bpp blitter if the
support8bpp
tells us to. Otherwise, use an 32bpp one.Limitations
The 8bpp blitter together with the OpenGL backend is slightly faster than 32bpp bliters.
