Apply selected template to visual editor

[prometh]

If the selected template could be applied to the visual editor, it'd be great for clients who can't think outside the box. This could increase WordPress' popularity, as more people would use it for their customers.

Kinda like this:

You could try ​Scribu's Front End Editor plugin, it's very client friendly.

Thanks. While "Front-end Editor" is interesting, it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'd like to keep administration within the admin panel, but have the theme applied to the inside of the editor.

In WP 3.0 you can now use add_editor_style(); to easily style the visual editor with editor-style.css to show you how the content will look, more info at r13441!
