I think, more preload is turning it down, and more compression is turning the screw against the tripple-trees, meaning upwards.

Well, no.
Preload adjustment is accomplished by turning the red nut. Turning it clockwise adds preload to the spring.
The screw in the center is rebound. Screwing it all the way in will have a similar effect to adding a lot of compression, but your rebound will also be very slow.
Compression adjustment in the bottom fork lug. Looking at the face of the screw (either by laying on your back or craning your head around), clockwise adds compression damping.
