One of the issues with preview images, is that people have been known to create previews using a totally different background than to what is included in the theme. Its happened twice on exchange so far and Ive had to request the themer fix up the preview, which they never do. Another issue that you might run into with descriptions, is translations. I know english is not the primary language of quite a few themers for E, even tho we have a large english speaking user base. Should we keep the door open to translations of descriptions? If so, how?
As for the image, I see what you mean. Even if we did have a seperate group as a preview, a themer with a bit of talent could make a full interactive edje preview in that. Just scale down and make parts draggable. Or of course, just use an image. :) Ill put something together soon.
