Description
Hi! I'm trying to change the default Oh My Zsh theme, I created my dotfiles-local/zshrc.local and added the ZSH_THEME="my_theme_name" but it is not loading.
Do you know if there's some step I'm missing? I added the custom theme as suggested by the Oh My Zsh documentation .

Research direction
Start with dotfiles-local/zshrc.local and compare its ZSH_THEME setting with the Oh My Zsh customization guidance linked in the issue. Trace how the zsh configuration is loaded and determine why the custom theme is not applied. Done means a theme configured there loads successfully.
