If you can find it, pkcolorpicker let's you get the exact or average color of anything including te bar
I just know there was a good version and a bad.
This looks like it... http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Web_Authoring/HTML_Color_Pickers/pkColorPicker.html
This is it: http://www.color-picker.de/

Note. This isn't spam. I'm trying to help the poster find the right color for his skin.


Also, just read: To make pkColorPicker work properly on Windows Vista and Windows 7, please disable desktop composition.
Instruction: right click on pkColorPicker.exe in Windows Explorer, choose Properties, Tab: Compatibility, togle checkbox: Disable desktop composition.

Or you can take a screenshot with µTorrent opened, paste the shot in say, GIMP, use colourpicker on that and get the value. That's what I would do.
But I do hope that you've made it easy to change for the user. Just incase they don't share the same likeing in colour as you. ;P
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Tried all that. When a line is 1px thick, everything around it (i.e. background) will have an effect on how you see the color. I just went with everything white/black/gray with various transparency values. That way it will look good in front of larger specter of wallpapers, which is my goal. I'd create some funky looks if I'd make more of these though :D
