Sorry about that here is a link to all posts in July in which you can
see my posts as well. I am not sure why all posts always come as
separate posts rather than thread.

It is just to be able to run in all color modes rather than
restricting to 8-bit PseudoColor. While it is better view to run in
higher bpp TrucColor mode, VNC is faster in 8-bit color mode, also
TrueColor is the default for VNC if I am not wrong.
