The image will be appropriately converted to the correct bit depth when it is written to the screen, so we maintain an internal representation of 24 bits for simplicity.
In your case, you may see an issue, depending on how well Microwindows and the PNG library match your colors. The PNG library is intelligent enough to understand the palletized entries, so even though we are in 24 bit mode, the colors should still stay true. However, when we actually draw the image, the colors will be matched to the internal Microwindows palette which may or may not have the correct colors. At 8 bit depth, you should be OK, but be prepared for colors to be a bit off from what you expected.
