Research direction

Start with com.jme3.system.DisplayInfo and trace how GLFW display modes provide dimensions and refresh rates. Determine where bit depth from the forum request should be represented alongside those values. Done means DisplayInfo exposes bit depth for each display mode and the affected display-system behavior remains working.

Description

Feature Request / Proposal

from forum post https://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/jme-3-10-0-beta1/49603/43?u=riccardoblb

In addition to the dimensions and refresh rate of each display mode, GLFW provides its bit depth. Would it be practical to add this information to com.jme3.system.DisplayInfo?
