Well, our color scraper script works fine as far as configuring Wine to follow the Gnome colors through a registry edit. It's just a matter of discovering how to get certain colors out of GTK. I've found many that seem correct, but others that don't. I've asked around in many places but find it hard to get any response:

Oh, nice! I wasn't able to find anything remotely similar. Got it from http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidance/guidance-0.8.0.tar.bz2

Looks like he uses the same method for updating the registry by creating a file and importing it with regedit. Probably some things that could be improved on our end, though. :)

But to scrape the colors, he just reads from kdesktoprc. If there is anything similar to this in Gnome, I haven't been able to find it.
