Possible misleading use of the checkmark icon on link buttons.

Problem/Motivation

I think that maybe the checkmark icon used in Claro on pages like /admin/appearance (in buttons like "Set as default" and "Install") can be misleading and inconsistent.

One way to interpret the checkmark icon is that "this thing is done". Therefore, a checkmark icon, followed by "Set as default" text, could indicated that the thing is currently "set as default", and not properly convey the message "click here to set as default".

I think this issue is limited to the /admin/appearance page - I haven't found any other instances in the (core) admin area that use this pattern.

Proposed resolution

In the uninstalled themes section on the Appearance page, change the icon for the "Install" link to a plus sign. Leave the icon for the "Install and set as default" link as a checkmark.
