Use Oh-my-fish to change fish theme

Hi everyone!

I am not really sure where this topic should be posted so I put it here, as I am actually fairly new to Garuda (used pure Arch for a while, switched to Garuda recently for the help with stuff that otherwise requires days of work everytime).

((BTW: thank you everyone for the amazing job you are doing with this project!))

Anyway, I installed Garuda on my new laptop and I discovered that, instead of my trusted zsh shell there is a fish shell! I always postponed the time where i shuld start to use fish, so I said why not!

Problem is that I really can't seem to be able to change the theme of the shell: by using omf apparently it installs the right plugins and they work (I tried the git plugin at the moment) but the theme seems immutable to omf theme <themename>. I tried to look around the configs and I can't seem to find the location of the default theme (otherwise I would have tried some dirty trick maybe). What is the obvious detail that am I missing???

I paste here the output of garuda-inxi for reference, even though I am not sure if it is helpful:

Hi there, welcome to the forum!
The problem might be due to the fact that we use starship as a fish prompt.
In-fact, your ~/.config/fish/config.fish should have these lines, which are probably overwriting anything you do with oh-my-fish.

## Starship prompt
if status --is-interactive
   source ("/usr/bin/starship" init fish --print-full-init | psub)
end

So, in my opinion, either you comment that part and go on with oh-my-fish, or maybe you could check if changing starship might fit your needs: maybe check in ~/starship.toml and

Thank you!

That was the catch! Ok, I think I will explore this and if I can't work it out I think I will just switch to oh-my-fish!
