64bit window7 and XPmode

XP mode on my machine is set to a screen solution of
1680x1050, a 16bit color mode and a font-size of 96dpi.
I can't choose neither a 32bit color mode or a higher font-size.
Why is this. A bug. Or a crippled software XP-mode ?.

XP Mode uses RDP, you can either disable the integration components
and get 32bit color, or modify the registry and get 24bit color.

Ah, rather new to me and quite techy. I also need a higher font-size
this is even the most demanding. Can this be modified as well via the
registry.
I'm testing a webpage menu dropdown in IE6. Fortunately the XP mode
download came with IE6. But the big question over all is. With the
integration coupled in, will this test render a useable result. I don't
think so !. The menu has a javascript build in. Apparently it works.
Will it be necessary to decouple the integration to get a reliable result
for this testing ?.

Thanks...

If you disable the IC, you will be able to do 32bit color and modify
your fonts. What you won't have is the shared clipboard, printer,
dynamically resizable VM window (you can set the resolution via
display properties), etc that come from the IC.
You will have mouse integration.
