Is there an easy way to do this? I thought for sure the object returned by Desktop() would have a .depth field (and it does have width and height).

Seems I should be able to say:

dskDesktop:TGadget = Desktop()
width = dskDesktop.Width   ' Works!
height = dskDesktop.Height ' Also works!
depth = dskDesktop.Depth   ' Oops!

I know I can use GetGraphicsMode to get info about a specific mode available on the user's system (including depth), but how do I know which index (the first parameter of GetGraphicsMode) is the current one?

Thanks!
