Ah, I see... yes, that's kind of what I imagined would happen.

Ah yes... FWIW I heard Bill saying on Friday that he thought thumbnails
were far too small and he'd prefer the dropdown list/one big preview
model.  I kind of agree, it's hard to see imagine how you can get much
of an impression of the theme in something that size, especially if
you're drawing the elements actual size.  Even in the screenshot above,
where the thumbnails only show the metacity theme, you can't really see
some key visual elements of the theme :/

Cheeri,
Calum.
