Comment (by abcd95):

 Hey @afercia, Thanks for reporting this issue.

 The current wording referring to themes as "Active" can indeed be
 misleading when they're installed but not activated. I think the word
 "Installed" would be a more appropriate word here since "Installed"
 directly reflects the theme's current stateā€”it's present on the system.
 This matches WordPress's general terminology, where we talk about
 "Installed themes" vs. "Available themes."

 Using "Installed" maintains consistency with other parts of the WordPress
 admin where we refer to themes as being in an "installed" state.

 I welcome any suggestions if this can be improved further.
