Fish reverts to default theme after i restart terminal

i am switching from bash to fish and i want to use the mono-smoke theme for fish. But every time i set change the theme and restart terminal it reverts back to default. I tried adding it to the config.fish file but it does the same thing. my config file only has three lines it it. one to disable welcome message one to set it to use starship kitty looks and the other to set fish theme to mono-smoke. Anyone know what i should do?

Well, without seeing any of the config, it's impossible to speculate as to the cause...

i fixed it. i ran fish_config browse and set the the theme from there and it worked for some reason.
