(Get the code!)
The problem with hardcoding the color scheme is that not everyone will want or be using the Ubuntu default color scheme. In fact, as Beryl and other graphical improvements come online, there will be less and less uniformity of color schemes over time. Remember, the Wine that runs under Gnome is the same wine that runs under XFCE (Xbuntu) and KDE (Kubuntu), not to mention the variations of Ichthux, Ubuntu Studio, Ebuntu, Fluxbuntu, etc. etc. The "Right Thing To Do (TM)" is for Wine to use by default the colors from the user's environment.
I'm running Kubuntu, which is of course Ubuntu with the KDE Desktop Environment. When I configure Wine via Kubuntu's normal System Settings (K Menu --> System Settings --> Advanced --> Windows Applications --> Appearance), the Color Scheme setting allows me to select "Get KDE Colors". That is what should be the default, and what Ubuntu's Gnome desktop should do as well.
What's so different about Gnome that it can't be done already? Seems like the same or similar code from Kubuntu's System Settings could be used to read Gnome's environment settings.
