That would have been my first guess as well, but the color picker I tried out detects colors while screen data changes. eg: a flat toolbar button. on mouse over the button pops out, the color picker detects the toolbutton border colors. If the app took a screenshot at startup, it wouldn't have detected the toolbutton borders as they didn't show at that stage. Some good news. The color picker I tried was a windows apps. Using Ubuntu 7.10 and Wine, it runs like a native linux app without issues. Wine is excellent these days, so maybe I don't even have to implement such a tool myself, just keep using the windows one.
