The preview is a screen shot; it's not generated on the fly. I don't
know if this can causes small changes (e.g., the difference between
linux and windows?!).

I'll look at it. I have a script that captures the screen, crops to the
board, resize to 324x216 and convets to xpm. Maybe the cropping part
misses a pixel.

As I wrote in my original mail announcing the feature: saving the
current board designs as a new one is not implemented yet.

A work around is to save your favourite board's "set appareance" command
elsewhere (for example, in the boards/board.xml file), so you always can
revert.

I'll open a new thread regarding saving boards, since some details need
to be cleared before I can implement it.
