You have installed Vesuri's theme settings which integrates into settings while ThemeChanger is a desktop icon+app...
The former requires a reboot to switch themes but the latter doesn't... Then again the former is by the person behind meegotouch
i have both but for quite some time now use GConfik or gconf values from terminal to switch themes... Some themes can work without having to even refresh, some need a full refresh and some need a reboot... As long as you know you can then use themechanger, gconf or for the last scenario theme settings or gconf...
If unsure the best to use is theme settings..

Didn't think HSS ever had anything to do with switching themes, oh well.

You surely have installed it; it doesn't come with HSS...
It was in the Store too for i think ~1week before Store QA pulled it out (currently available from vesuri's own site). The icon for theme settings is the same as HSS maybe thats why you got confused? Check your application manager you'll have separate entries for theme settings, HSS and themechanger...
If you install GConfik you can navigate to /meegotouch/theme/name and set the name of the theme you want to change to... It'll apply immediately but if the theme changes icons you'll see your homescreen messed up so you then need to do full refresh from N9QT to fix it... If the theme is a complete one like F2thak's work you most probably need to reboot so instead of going into GConfik, setting the value and then rebooting its more convenient to use theme settings, select the theme and accept to reboot
Edit: the gconf value to set via terminal is:

There's no icon for either in the app launcher home-screen, but they're both in the app manager.
I guess it's not that bad also having Theme Changer installed, as at least it has an option in the UI to refresh emoticon cache.
So one doesn't have to bother recalling how to do that in terminal....

Edit: the gconf value to set via terminal is:
Code:gconf -s type=string /meegotouch/theme/name THEME_NAME
Can you recall OTTOYH how to do a full refresh w/o N9Qtwk, if not don't worry, I'll look-it-up.
Can you recommend any excellent, wide-ranging, & reliable themes?
I've never really bothered much with full themes, or even many smaller partial themes.

For a soft refresh:
For a full refresh:
The full refresh command includes restarting the battery monitor (bme) too...
(above commands courtesy of Schturman's N9QT)
IMO the most complete themes are F2thak's FDB Themes...The latest v7.6 are the most complete, you can install them either via a script in the first post or use .deb files in the last 1-3 pages...
If you want to only theme the blue colours of the system then kebbana's colourthemes is the most complete set of colours available...

Code:

Yes, I extract every version of N9QTweak when its released to test and play with some things on my own
