XWin is limited to supporting the current Windows display mode.
If Focus requires 24 bit true colour, then you need to set the
Windows display to 24 bits.  Alternatively, you may be able to
configure Focus to use a display mode that matches your current
display.

Run xdpyinfo to list the visuals available.
