Grayscale color

[Guest]

Is it possible to include an option to make the server send compressed grayscale images instead of color? 8-bit grayscale looks (except for the lack of color information) as good as 32-bit color, and might compress better than 8-bit palletized color. For more mundane uses, color information isn't highly important and wastes sometimes limited bandwidth. You could even have the option of 4-bit grayscale for even less bandwidth and "low quality" images (which aren't any worse than the current 8-bit scheme except for the lack of color)

Just an idea

That's something we've already investigated (especially Rudi), but it's on hold for now (lack of time). The priority is V1 release.
