Comment (by paaljoachim):

 Feedback based on logging in and testing Westons test site:
 http://trac-37661-xwp-testbed.pantheonsite.io/

 Going through the process of changing a theme.
 Click change.
 I see a checkmark beside Installed themes. They are listed inside the
 preview window. Which was a bit puzzling at first as I expected them to
 show below in the same column. I clicked another theme that was already
 installed. I said it "Setting up your live preview. This may take a bit."
 Instead of those words what about a CSS spinner giving the signal that it
 is loading. Then perhaps also the words "loading theme preview."

 I am now looking at Installed themes. Then WordPress.org themes.
 Installed themes is something we are used to.
 WordPress.org themes should instead be "New Theme". That also includes
 uploading a theme. wordpress.org themes. The standard stuff.

 As similar to the installed/new theme experience as possible.
