get colors from current theme and visible elements

[kawan95]

Is it possible to get the color code from elements on the screen? Or can I get the codes directly out of the current theme?

I want to draw on canvas and use the same colors that are used by the current theme. For example buttons, background, text and a scrollbar shall be drawn in the same color that is used by the current theme.

One possibility would perhaps be to take a copy of the current canvas, save it into a file an reread the file an its content. But: This seems to be a bit complicated.

Is there an easy way to do this? Perhaps something like "get_color_at(x,y)"?

Well I think you can take a screenshot and analyze certain parts of it to determine what colour the theme uses (you use Image.getpixel((x,y)) for that). You can't read information about the theme (like colours) in Python unless you write a C++ extension for it.

Many thanks! This was exactly what I searched for. Simple and effective.
