 The thumbnails on the Install Themes screen are always loaded over HTTP,
 which produces a mixed content warning when using admin over SSL.

 There are two parts to this:

  1. The site that theme thumbnails are loaded from (wp-themes.com) needs a
 valid SSL certificate. Current if you try to load a theme thumbnail over
 SSL you'll get a certificate warning because the cert is for
 wordpress.org.
  2. The thumbnails need to respect the admin area scheme when they're
 loaded.

 Additionally, it's a bit odd that these thumbnails (and the theme
 previewer) come from wp-themes.com, which is not a familiar domain. Is
 there a reason it's not using wordpress.org or a subdomain thereof?
