I asked this question several days ago and didn't get any responses,

I'd like to be able to script a change in monitor color depth. I
have some old software that requires 256 colors, so I want to switch
from millions to 256 and back again. Does anyone know how to do it?
I'm running OS X 1.2.6 on a G4 tower.
Hi Marc,
It appears that the depth setting is stored in:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
I don't know how to script the change to the plist but maybe you
could maintain two copies and swap them when the depth needs changed.
This would likely require something (windowserver?) to be
quit/restarted but I don't know for sure. It's all speculation. :p
