Edit from @rsese: more thoughts from @ELLIOTTCABLE via https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/15895

At the moment, I have to resort to a browser tab to hunt down an Atom theme that I like - the "Install Themes" window is fairly useless until I already know which theme I want.

Thus, I'd like to suggest that that window display a row of four or five tiny, rendered, code-editors below each theme in the list; each of which displays an example of syntax-highlighting with a different language / snippet.

(If that's too architecturally complex, then perhaps simply inlining the first image found on the project's GitHub README is a better solution?)

tl;dr I think the theme-browser can be made more useful! (=

That would be cool.

Thanks @ELLIOTTCABLE - I went ahead and added your comments to the issue body to flesh things out a bit since this issue was created before our issue/pr templates :v:
