return fleet

lualine config

config = {
  ...
  options = {
  ...
  theme = 'fleet'
  }
}

and this is the warning i got Theme `fleet` not found, falling back to `auto`. Check if spelling is right.

but oddly enough when i open my colorscheme directory to edit it the theme is applied with no errors

Are you doing some sort of lazy loading? In that case is your colorscheme loaded before lualines setup is called?

[0xhoussam]

i am using lazy in my config this is how am importing the colorscheme

    {
        dir = "~/projects/fleet",
        dev = true,
        lazy = false,
        priority = 1000,
    },

and with some print debuging i can confirm that the colorscheme is loaded before the lualine

it should be

local palette = require("fleet.palette").palette

You are using require wrong.
