A couple of weeks ago, I posted a [review](http://www.puretext.us/2005/02/25/wordpress-15/) of WordPress 1.5. My biggest complaint was that WP 1.5 had no way to preview new themes without showing off your broken design to the whole world. It was something like having a big bay window installed instead of tile in your shower. You just had to hope nobody was walking by while you were… uh… changing.
Well, this is why the WP community is a beautiful thing. [Ryan Boren](http://boren.nu/) already has a [Theme Preview Plugin](http://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/08/preview-theme-plugin/) that allows me to quickly check my design without drawing the curtains. I just type in *?preview_theme=* at the end of the address, plus the theme name. So:
http://www.puretext.us/?preview_theme=Neumatikos
pulls up the “Neumatikos ” theme I’ve been working on.
But you can’t see it, can you? That’s right. This ain’t no peep show!
Of course, there is one thing I wish he’d included, which my non-hacker skills are unable to impliment myself: I’d like a preview button in the Themes pages so I don’t have to remember long strings like “?preview_theme=”
Full integration, man. That’s all I’m asking. Full integration!

Well you are better at getting it working than me.
I have followed your example and the one on Ryans page, all I get is the one I select to use in the themes selection.
No matter what code I use it never changes, the plugin is is set to active and I even set the user level to a lower setting.
