It seems that the combination of Admin/Rubik/Tao ignores all of the theme's CSS when "previewing" a node. This is problematic, because when an editor goes to preview a node, it is rendered very differently than when they actually save and view the node.

I understand that Rubik/Tao needs to perform a lot of overrides to maintain a clean admin UI, but is there a workaround so that some of the theme's CSS can be applied, so that a "preview" can accurately represent the published node?

I am interested in this as well I noticed that the administration theme module attempts to address this using this patch http://drupal.org/node/700856 but I would like to see this functionality possibly becoming part of the admin module. When I create or edit a node and use the Rubik theme for editing; my previews are shown using the admin theme which is awkward. Basically it should work in the same way as the block page. For example the default theme is shown while making changes to block arrangements.

This is a limitation of Drupal core's preview functionality. I could use some testers on pagepreview module if you're still looking for a solution.

I am closing this issue, as Drupal 6 is now not supported.
