Are you aware that simply selecting a different theme in the drop-down
immediately applies the changes? Why do you want to show a preview of
the changes? In fact, I think immediately changing the theme makes
more sense than a preview.
Every change in System Settings takes effect immediately, except for
the few that unfortunately require logging out first (or Additional
Drivers which can require a reboot). This is because instant-apply
preferences are a part of the GNOME HIG.
If we exclude the preview feature, what is the purpose of having a
separate Appearance window? What is the use case for allowing users to
easily select Ambiance for the GTK+ theme and Radiance for the window
theme (which was allowed in the old Appearances dialog)? I suggest
that users who want to do extensive theme mixing and matching use
gnome-tweak-tool (which, by the way, welcomes contributions).

I also think that a preview isn't necessary.
But I agree, that it is hard to find. I also would like to have an
option to change some colours.
I am going to create a second solution on

A preview may not be necessary, but it sure comes in handy. Not only is
it what users migrating from a world of windows be accustomed to, but it
will also be what users migrating from GNOME 2.x and even KDE will be
accustomed to. Apart from familiarity, it makes it easier to select a
theme that you actually want, and that won't give conflicts. For
example, I sometimes find it problematic to use GNOME Tweak Tool for
switching the theme, because some new themes have bugs (wrong text
colour etc), and others are just plain ugly (but look great in their
previews online).
