Getting the Color of the Current Screen

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is it possible to get the current color of the current screen on an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop?

I am thinking of using the current color so that I can use it in my Tk code. Something along the lines...

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->configure( -background => "$current_color" );

It may be possible by reading the system (Gnome, KDE ...) configuration values, but by applying a theme, the Tk main window should have the same background color as the other windows, by default. Regards, Stefan	[reply]
