How to Make Style Preview Thumbnails

I personally don't see what the problem is. it's a guide (for how this feature is now) on how to make the best of it. Simple as that.

Done differently, there would be a control to allow you to upload a style preview image when editing a style. We'll have that eventually, but we're too far into the 1.0.0 cycle to do it now.

I see what you mean. Regardless, the way it works now is fine.

I must agree. The fact that we are able to even have previews of a style is leaps and bounds above options available with other software. I think in our excitement, there are times when one forgets just how short of a time that xF has been out. The performance is deceptive that way. Great efforts Mike and Kier, thanks.

I appear to have gone mental. There's no way to access the style properties of another style right now, so that approach won't work after all., sorry.

I do have something I'd like to put into a future version to make this much easier, but to do it properly requires more time than we have right now.

any chance that this will be included in 1.1?

This is fantastic, the only problem I ran into was using the example to the letter, I didn't realise I was using a relative path so when the preview didn't work in the other styles I was really scratching my head as to why lol

All sorted and thank you.

Works like a charme. No need to build this into a admin feature, I think. You do this only once.
