ScrDepth after 4.5

The 'ScrDepth' parameter is deprecated in @DISPLAY since 4.5.

It can be used in @SCREEN, but what if the script started in windowed mode, and then changed to fullscreen with ChangeDisplayMode?

I think ChangeDisplayMode should accept a ScrDepth parameter.

It's not easily possible to support depth change at runtime because all of Hollywood's bitmaps are tied to the current screen depth. So it would be quite a lot of work to convert all internal bitmaps between different screen pixel formats and that's not really worth the hassle because normally screen mode and depth are determined before the script starts.
