It's not possible to adapt the preview to the _current_ decoration 
style. This would require a pretty complex addition to KWin's 
decoration API which doesn't seem feasible to me.
Only way I see is as Aaron said, to simply adapt (= hardcode) it to 
KDE's default style.

Putting it on the right sounds interesting to me, this would result in a 
similar dialog like the desktop background dialog. And as of now, the 
dialog size seems to be more "limited" by the height than by the 
width... I will think about it. ;)

Yes, perhaps...
