I think the story went:
- Admin: "I can only include a preview button if somebody gives me the icon for it"
- Random pouet user replies with this button because pouet
- Admin: "That'll do"

It's supposed to be a preview of a preview button so that you preview button while you preview.

legend: nice, but what's with the black border? :D

(But yeah, anything that uses images for text elements in a web page looks utterly horrible on a modern screen, since you end up with blurry as hell text right next to pin-sharp text.)
