Since the beginning, dragon change preview images have been full-size images shrunk to fit in a small area. Here’s a mock-up for a version that shows a full-size dragon image when you are applying a gene change, using the dragon selector from the Crossroads for lair navigation. The current layout is below it for comparison.

Dragons a scroll could not be applied to (because they already have the gene/breed being used) could be grayed out and unselectable (as is currently done for breed changes on dragons wearing accents) rather than not shown at all, to preserve lair order.
[b]This layout could be used for:[/b]
[LIST]
[*]Gene Change previews
[*]Breed Change previews
[*]Skin and Accent previews (already pre-filtered by breed and sex)
[*]Eye Change previews using Vials
[/LIST]
[b]Tricolor Scatterscroll and Vial of Scattersight[/b]
I also think it should be used when applying a Tricolor Scatterscroll or Vial of Scattersight (which both currently show a ??? image after selecting the dragon, leaving no way to verify you actually clicked on the correct one. I'm not saying it would preview the dragon with scattered colors or eye type, just that it would show the full size image of the dragon you're about to apply the Scatterscroll to before hitting accept!) It's been suggested that this preview could show the dragon with a ? superimposed on top, which I think would work great!
[b]Other things that have been mentioned that would improve the QOL of dragon changes: [/b]
[LIST]
[*]Keep a dragon's eye type accurate when previewing changes
[*]The ability to toggle visibility of skins and accents for Gene and Eye changes
[*]Automatically turning off visibility of skins/accents for Breed Changes and returning the skin/accent to your hoard upon using a breed change on a dragon that is wearing one

I would say put the preview and confirmation on the left side instead of the right side, but this looks amazing!

@Luteia Yeah, actually, you're right! Looks way better on the left. I edited it!

100% support! This is so much better and more accessible than what's currently in the game, especially with being able to see more dragons on the page.

Support! This would be really useful.

Totally supporting every points in the first post. From the layout and how it filters through your lair, to where it can be used (genes, breed change, scatter, skins). And with scatter scroll when it shows the dragon selected, maybe the 3 question marks can be the watermark on the dragon, so it can both indicate you're using a scatter right now and the outcome is going to be unknown, as well as which dragon you just selected.

Oh my god yes please!! I zoom way in when I'm previewing scroll changes on dergs to see it with their apparel and such, it'd be way better to actually have them full size to begin with.
