The simple solution is this:

set_color_depth( either 8,15,16,24 or 32);

And that's it.  Setting a graphics mode will use that colour depth, loaded
bitmaps will use whatever is used (not sure how palette paramater is used
though...) and create_bitmap defaults to the specified colour depth.

A more detailed document is on the Allegro web page.
