If you are willing to add this in yourself, that would be nice, I don't have time to send another patch today:

Actually, I find this pretty elegant, and from what I have seen, it's idiomatic Tcl. A less cryptic way would be (untested):

  set components [winfo rgb . $rgb]
  set r [lindex $components 0]
  set g [lindex $components 1]
  set b [lindex $components 2]
But I much prefer the one-line version.

Awesome, thanks for that.
