 Within the themes.php page, if I activate one of the themes displayed, a
 modal popup appears.

 At the top of the popup are three buttons - Show prev theme, show next
 theme, and close overlay.

 These buttons may not be fully accessible by screen readers as the
 'labels' for the buttons are provided in an `alt` attribute. The `alt`
 attribute is not a valid attribute on the `<button>` element. NVDA does
 not voice the alt attribute, although JAWS does.

 Some other way will need to be found to ensure that all AT can access the
 purpose of these buttons.
