current Dream Skin theme cannot be deleted

Error message

current Dream Skin theme cannot be deleted

What it means

Guard in delete_dream_skin_theme: the requested theme id equals the currently active theme, so deleting it would leave the active slot dangling. Deletion is refused; the user must activate another theme first.
