Customizer: closing after activation still displays old theme as active

[duck_]

1. Customize an inactive theme
2. Click "Save and Activate"
3. Click "Return to Manage Themes"

Expected: See new theme in the "current theme" spot and an activation notice.

Actual: Same screen prior to clicking "Customize".

Since [20645] for #20507 and #19910.

"Save and Activate" should probably cause a refresh.

Should the Customizer be closed after clicking "Save and Activate" ?

Replying to ocean90:

Should the Customizer be closed after clicking "Save and Activate" ?

I would suggest yes.

I think we should make Save and Activate close the Customizer, and/or add a second button for just saving, and then Save and Activate closes.

This might be a little too much, but what if we updated the theme page with ajax and jQuery? That would make the return from Customizer a little more seamless.

Just an idea...

• Causes the Manage Themes page to refresh if the customizer is closed after the active theme is switched.
• Changes the text of the 'Save and Activate' button once the theme has been activated.
• Improves the naming of the customize control settings.
• Add events to customize.Loader and make callbacks more flexible.
• Makes the customize-loader l10n compatible with non-admin settings.
• Adds WP_Customize->is_current_theme_active().
• Minor style corrections, including jQuery.attr/prop changes.
