When it comes to preview inline LaTeX fragments within org-mode, the org package applies the `org-block` face. It would be nice to *treat inline latex block specially*, to make integration of the those preview-block easier when surrounded by plaintext. This feature would allow to have a theme that highlight blocks (source code, examples) without the background artifact you can see in attachment when previewing latex fragments.

It seems that a way to adress this is to add another `org-latex` face, as we already have with `org-quote`. One could also change the `org-src-font-lock-fontify-block` function to include a subroutine for inline latex blocks. Nevertheless, the later seems to be harder to customize...

What do you think of this ?

Thank you for your job on this amazing program! 

Have a nice day!

Best,

Leo
