New description:

 The help text for the themes panel is currently somewhat misleading, as
 the filters are no longer in the sidebar. It could probably benefit from a
 more general reworking to ''briefly'' explain what themes are, why they
 need to be "installed," and maybe that plugins are available that offer
 themes from other sources (if the user can install themes and it's not
 multisite).

 Current text:
 > Once themes are installed, you can live-preview them on your site,
 customize them, and publish your new design. Browse available themes via
 the filters in this menu.
