okay, this what I found out by looking at ardor3d and jogl code.

The only reference to DisplaySettings.getColorDepth() occurs at the following method:

JoglCanvas.privateInit()

But the above method is never called if your use JoglAwtCanvas. So basically in my swing applications my preferred ColorDepth settings seem to be completely ignored by Jogl. Is this a bug or is it by design?
