Why don't you expect the new theme to be disabled?  Since it is a complete theme, it cannot be applied until the browser is restarted.  Until then, whatever theme was previously active remains enabled and the new one is disabled...

Because, I was thinking that CT should behave like "requires restart" extensions.

Okay this is just about the presentation.  Given the imminent removal of complete themes, I don't think its actually worth spending any time on it.

And complete themes are now no longer supported
