Comment (by Otto42):

 How about a more standardized set of preview data instead?

 A theme should have sane defaults, and it always is annoying to me when I
 see a theme demo that looks good, but then you install it and it looks
 terrible without that pre-made setup.

 If the theme-reviewers want to get together and make a big set of
 previewer-data, then we can load it in there and get it going. But having
 this on a per-theme basis seems rather unlikely to be useful to users, in
 the long run, because they won't get that when they install the theme.

 What we show in the previewer should be a reasonably accurate reflection
 of what the user actually sees after installing the theme. If you make the
 theme look good as a fresh install, then it will look good in the
 previewer too, since it essentially is a fresh install.
