--- Comment #2 from Jon <[email protected]> ---
I actually agree with Isarra somewhat - a preview is better than a screenshot.
That said the current experience is terrible. Previewing the preference page
for one makes no sense - it would be far better to see something in the main
namespace rendered via the chosen skin.

Tumblr does a great job in its theme interface. You can select and search for
skins and they instantly get applied so it's easy to flick between them and see
the skin in the context of an ipsum lorem article.

This could be a great opportunity to break skins out of Special:Preferences -
maybe Special:Preferences/Skin and just provide a good simple interface for
skin switching - maybe a drop down at the top and an Ipsum lorem article
rendered below. When we have templating in core we could even do this rendering
via JavaScript :-).
