The transparency problem is also apparent on Linux, so not just limited 
to OSX. It occurs when two templates are displayed one on top of the 
other, where both templates are given a transparent background, leading 
to the details of the underlying template coming through the transparent 
background of the overlying one and ending up looking like something 
Kandinsky or Pollack might have done in their most creative of 
mindframes. One thing is for sure, it doesn't look professional, nor is 
it clear what the preview content of the template is actually supposed 
to be. At least with the old template preview, only one template was 
previewed at a time, so there was little doubt as to which template was 
being considered. The current new fangled approach mixes up what I 
assume to be the first two templates of the list. This is all down to 
the way the transparency of the sheet/doc/page is rendered or by some 
trick of the UI overlay. As I don't know how this is done, I can't 
really frame it in words any better than that.
