You should get your theme enlisted with spacemacs

Hey,

Currently to make it work permanently, I had to update one of their config file which maps chosen theme (at startup) to the package from which it was installed from.

Basically they allow you to set theme variable in ~/.spacemacs file

   dotspacemacs-themes '(poet-dark
                         spacemacs-dark
                         spacemacs-light)

The first entry is chosen as default one. But theme has to match a package, otherwise they try to install it by suffixing it with "-theme". When I added "poet-dark" to dotspacemacs-themes variable it kept installing "poet-dark-theme" package. "poet" worked fine (as your package name is "poet-theme").

So I had to update their config file which maps theme to package at ~/.emacs.d/core/core-themes-support.el
And add entry for "poet-dark" to map to "poet-theme" as shown in screenshot. You can probably send them a pr to add your theme to their config file. I saw they did it for https://github.com/thblt/eziam-theme-emacs

Thanks for this theme btw. My favorite theme for emacs :)
