easy enough with an in-line preview, but in practice i don't find it a necessity. the colours are fairly obvious and hitting "apply" shows me what the real thing is going to end up looking like. > Similarly, the starfield wallpaper preview lets you see what effects > its settings have. but once again it may be a good candidate for > putting the preview above or below the other settings.
