I'm not at ease with this solution.

I don't know exactly why, but this feels like a hack, since opaque
should be opaque, and the vout should then infer the format from the
picture reference given. I understand that there is a chicken-and-egg
issue here, though...

Can we change the format of the swapchain, for example, after opening?



With my kindest regards,
