maybe we can use some chemical stuff to get rid of the
purple layer of the screen.

The original plastic screen, which I removed to replace it with a glass screen (best thing I ever did) measures 77.8mm x 59.8mm, with rounded corners. The glass I use -2mm thick, cost me £1. I rounded the corners with a Dremel - you could use a file or abrasive stone.

I just used a dishes whasing liquid to clean it off; the one
I used is called here in Spain "Fairy" but I supose you can
use any other. I suggest to disassemble your gp32 so you
can "wash" the screen without worrying about water entering
your handheld ; )
P.S: I tried several other liquids, like alcohol, but the purple
layer just got blurred and nothing more. But my small sister
told me: "just use this washing liquid" and I tried just in
case. And it worked : )
