Windows Aero windows preview does not show Windows Aero Theme. Only shows Windows Vista Basic Theme. This might confuse some people as to which theme is which.
Put a new preview image in.

Doubt it will be fixed in 7 either :(
fixed in Windows 7.
Agreed, but IMO this is pretty low on the impact scale.
Changed impact from [Medium] to [Low].
I guess that if Microsoft dosn't support third party themes, there will be no incentive to add aero previewing mode, I bet if they had to fix it, the would just replace it with prerendered bitmap (like in taskbar preview in start menu properties)
fix isnt as easy as author says, as the content in the preview window is dynamic (in advanced settings you can change colors in basic mode) and as it is rendered by the CPU, aero cannot be shown in it, only basic
But still, they could have made it have the correct preview. Although I believe the Personalize menu from the desktop lets you choose it differently (I don't have any Vista machines, but I did use the betas and RC's)
Um, I have already placed such a complaint.

All those legacy dialogs should really be replaced by new control panel pages...
