screenshot of a 10bpc screen comes out 8bit #344

X11 and Xorg have 10bpc support, but a screenshot of such a screen will come out 8bpc. Imlib seems to deal exclusively with 8bpc colors.

I don't think this is actionable from scrot's end. You'll need to open an imlib2 issue about it.

Well, imlib2 said they can't add support for it. Supporting 10bit and more someday would mean using a different library.
