Instructions
The dashboardthemes package v1.1.1 is now available on CRAN, after several years of being available on GitHub only.

As before, the main purpose of the package is to allow easy use and creation of themes/logos, without knowledge of CSS code.
It’s also possible to create a live theme switcher using the instructions on this page. The live switcher functionality may be integrated into the package in future, as well as other new features.

Introducing a BETA release of dashboardthemes – an experimental R package designed to provide custom theme options for Shinydashboard applications.
The main purpose of the package is to allow:
The package is available to install from GitHub: *
library(devtools) install_github("nik01010/dashboardthemes")
* See Disclaimer at end.
The package is released as BETA. If you experience any issues, please provide feedback using the comments section or Contact page on this blog.
This is not part of the official Shinydashboard package and is released as a separate set of functionality. Efforts will be made to ensure compatibility with future versions of Shinydashboard but there could be delays in doing so. As such, dashboardthemes should be treated as an experimental package and used at your own risk.
