Hello, @meepytinity
The ExecStart command starts VNC and sets the color depth to 24-bit color with a resolution of 1280x800. You can modify these startup options as well to meet your needs.
In the following line;
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1280x800 :%i
Have you checked that in the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service file.
Let me know how it goes.
