Issue with Themes

Configuration Frontend
1

BLUF- Can not get themes to download.
I have watched the how-to’s
I looked through the previous posts on this subject.
I don’t have any errors when I check my config file.
I go to HACS find a theme, click frontend, click explore & download repositories, select a theme, I have 2 options on the bottom 1. open repository and 2. download this repository with HACS, I choose #2, click download (there is always a note that will look like this- repository.note_downloaded '/config/themes/noctis/noctis.yaml') it spins a minute as if it is downloading, it clears and there is nothing in the Frontend screen, nothing (new) in the Integrations screen, go to the config.yaml nothing but the themes file but it is empty and there are no new paths to the file I supposedly just downloaded?
If I then go check user, by clicking on my name the Theme choice remains greyed out.

I also deleted the themes yaml entry and tried to create the themes folder 1st then enter the yaml. none of this works
I am getting an error in the logs:

You set themes in the screen you get when you click on your name at the bottom of the sidebar.

Thanks I am aware-I know I am doing it correctly- I have watched various example vids and read the docs- The area you are talking about is the problem. no matter what I do when I download a theme the Theme block where you are supposed to select it is always greyed out. Maybe I was not clear, Any clues?

Example vids shudder

What is the output of running the following command run from your config directory

ls themes

Fixed it. no clue why but I just deleted the Themes folder, tried again and all is good now? Thanks.

If you named it Themes, that would be an error.

No it was not capitalized, This is a new install after I trashed my last one it was so bad I could not fix it and my back-ups were going to have the same issues so I just started over since I have not been using HA that long, (Good practice HA HA) there have been a couple other oddities with this install- no clue but it is all working now. Thanks again.
