 A post in the forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theres-no-delete-
 button/ by @dmcohen pointed out a thing that should be better shown:

 In wp-admnin/themes.php when a user with capability delete/install themes
 (i.e. usually an administrator) hits the "Theme details" button that is
 visible on hover and opens the theme details pop-up, they'll see the
 "Delete theme" link in the pop-up. But for the currently active theme (and
 its parent theme, where applicable) that link is "missing".

 Suggestion: Instead of nothing, show a short message "This theme is
 currently active and therefore cannot be deleted."
