Yargh.  32bpp is not a well-supported color depth.  In fact, 32bpp is
usually really 24bpp.

Why would you want to have such a high color depth?  The human eye
generally can't tell the difference between anything higher than 15bpp.
Further, high color depths adversely impact video card performance.

But, to answer your question ...

No.
