Comment (by earnjam):

 The mock-up in [attachment:active_theme.png] would still allow disabling
 the theme using the checkbox, so it's inconsistent. You could possibly not
 show the checkbox for that row, but I think the label solution in
 [attachment:e5dd8abec08ff82a087403f168726f061.png] is the better option.

 I would lean toward just adding a label to indicate the active theme, but
 keeping the existing disable functionality. You can already network-
 disable themes that are active on some sites, and there is no good way to
 prevent that without querying every site on the network. Not to mention if
 that ability was removed, it would break a common paradigm of preventing
 new activations of older/deprecated themes on more open-facing networks
 (think wordpress.com)

 If we are worried about an individual site admin changing their theme
 after it has been disabled, then the better catch-all option would be to
 provide a warning when switching away from a disabled theme that you won't
 be able to switch back. That would cover it being disabled at the network
 level or per-site level.
