When I check my list of software in Freeshop it shows that Home Menu Themes has DLC which when I download I assume it pretty much downloads the entire theme list from the store am I correct?

Problem is, when I then go to change my theme it tells me that I have nearly 500 too many installed and that I must delete them. This would be fine if it wasn't a one by one process which would take absolutely hours.

Is there a way of just downloading the ones you want from Freeplay as opposed to the whole lot, or a quicker way to delete the ones you don't want from the list of absolutely hundreds?

1-Go to System Settings
2-Go to data management
3-Select the "Themes" (I don't remember where it's right now) and delete them that way
4-Now you can open the theme shop and download the themes you want

Go to data management in the system settings and delete all of your themes. Then go into the theme shop and at the bottom choose "collection". After that most of the themes will be available to download.

I have only done this without a NNID linked to the system.

I think you can delete all your themes within Data Management (found in System Settings).
Then, you should be able to open the theme shop and go to your collection, then download only the themes you want.

Also, aren't you that guy who invented hrth?

Thanks your comment is so useful
But in all seriousness, you probably should either A: update title keys or B: reinstall freshop. Mine shows up, and I use the auto update qr code. Just try reinstalling freshop and then setting the qr code auto update. Should work like a charm

Try opening the Theme Shop, and maybe downloading a free theme. If you have no home menu theme currently set, set one.
Then go back to freeShop. If it still shows nothing, it's probably a problem with your encTitleKeys.

No, that shouldn't be it. I had about 13 legit themes and it showed up fine for me.
Given the situation, I'm still guessing it's an encTitleKeys.bin problem.

Kay dude it worked I deleted the DLC folder in freeshop. Any ideas how many blocks will the entire theme take up? I only have like 8k+ blocks in my SD card.

install the tickets using CIAngel and get the themes on themeshop the normal way then. keep your hands off freeshop for themes.
