Inconsistent theme management screens

[scribu]

On single-site you have tabs, while on multi-site you have an "Add New" button:

/wp-admin/themes.php (single-site):

/wp-admin/themes.php (multi-site):

/wp-admin/network/themes.php (multi-site):

What's the inconsistency?

Single-site WP: The user can manage themes and install themes.

Multi-site WP: The user can only manage themes. (This is also the same view in single-site WP if the user can't install themes.) No need for tabs. Themes and plugins must be installed through the network admin.

Network/ Themes: The administrator can add new themes.

The inconsistency is that on single-site you have tabs and on multi-site you have an "Add New" button.

Tabs remain an experiment. The plugins screen doesn't have them either.

There isn't much deliberate parallelism between the network admin and the regular admin. In particular, the themes management page looks completely different -- list table versus tiles.

Suggest close as wontfix. Once a direction is decided on tabs, we can choose how to implement.

It's a bug. Please don't close it until it's fixed, one way or another.

Also, I think there should be consistency in the theme display as well. Jane mentioned using list tables on all screens.

If it's a usability experiment, how long does it have to run? Hasn't the user feedback been collected by now?

Sidenote: I must admit the tabs look a little better than in 3.0.
