For the default rendering of the blue part, using
GtkStyle.bg[GDK_STATE_SELECTED] seems to make sense since it renders to a color

just another shade of gray.
Thorsten, did you think about this?
Sure. AFAIR fan-sliders use that approach.
I wonder if you can query for the color used for progress-bars.
Either ignore unfortunate themes, or try to evaluate the provided
colors, to use some fall-back if there isn't sufficient contrast.
An option for user-defined colors would have the problem that users have
to know about that and then have to bother defining it, if colors are
unpleasant, otherwise.
