Why so complicated?
Why not creating a transparent folder image with 2 ..4 image previews. This 
transparent image could be overlayed over the normal folder icon, so every 
icon theme would fit. No pecial render target for each icon theme which could 
cause only some more problems. 
And now the question which image to choos for the preview (the oldes one .. 
the newest one ..? Maybe both. I think the newest one is a must have to show 
tha actual content of the folder. And after that kio has to take care on each 
update that the preview is up to date ... or even later.

It would be nice to have such a great feature in KDE ...
